I took a quick look and found this review of one of their saddles.
http://www.horsetackreview.com/review-display/9643...
The review is not dated, but since it is somewhat negative, I assume it is not planted. They are apparently making these saddles themselves rather than reselling existing brand name saddles. That's a tough business to be in. and quality across the wide range of saddles they claim to make would seem hard to maintain. There isn't enough information online about them as a company for me to feel safe buying from them, however.
Their return policy is basically only to accept "never used" items. The best you can do with them is to probably use an incredibly clean pad or wrap the saddle in plastic wrap and put it on your horse for testing. However, if you don't like it, you may or may not get them to accept it back. If they don't accept it back, they ship it to you at your expense.
I have, however, ordered a name brand saddle (Billy Cook, Sulphur OK) online from http://www.horsesaddleshop.com/ at a pretty good discount.
I was able to wrap the vulnerable parts of my saddle in plastic wrap and ride it for a few days. I kept the saddle, so I can't tell you how well the return policy works, however.
Hope this helps.
For 300$ more you can get a collegiate, which is a great quality starter saddle.
These saddles look like/are possibly the standard made in Pakistan/India poorly tanned leather POS's.
The give away is the stitching. I would avoid, spend a little more, or spend 200$ on a used collegiate or the like.
Argentine leather is waaaaay better than indian/pakistani leather.
I have the english saddle they are selling for 175. but it was bought from another website. they is several website that sell that english set from 120 to 175.00 ( so it isn't a fake site)
it is a starter set. the seat for me isn't perfectly comfortable my butt. My horse however, likes it better then her 1000. western saddle .
the construction of it is well made you really couldn't ask more for the price the only thing i do not like about the english saddle is the girth that came with it. ( that is it) ... go for it.
Very often you get what you pay for. If you are looking for a starter saddle then this might be okay. Like anything else in life knock off are just that.
I would be really careful about that. It seems very sketchy. Those are dirt cheep saddles-and with free shipping?? That's at least a $30+ Value.....if you get one I would be very careful to inspect the saddle when you get it. They could be seconds..or homemade...so make sure the saddle has a Solid tree, etc.
PS I looked a little closer, they are homemade.......BE CAREFUL.

I may look around to help influence my decision about what to order, or during or after my meal I might look around to see what looks good for me to order next time. And, I do it in countries where I don't speak the language well, can't read the menu, and/or don't know the names of some or even all of the foods that the restaurant serves. I see what other people are eating, and if I see something appealing I say EXCUSE ME, WHAT IS THAT?, get my answer, then order it. Or I can just point at something someone's eating and say THAT PLEASE to the server or cook.
I think you and your horse would be happier with a good used saddle.
