Hi all. Need opinions. Anyone have experience with Tucker saddles or the 4-beat Gaits of Gold saddle? What did you like or not like about them? This is a good chunk of money, so don't want to make a mistake. Thanks in advance! :confused:

My barn owner refuses to ride in anything but a Tucker seeing as she says they are more comfortable than anything she's ever ridden in....
Of course, I prefer Big Horns, never been so comfortable, and they're less expensive (at least at my tack shop, I haven't looked online.)
Hope this helps!

My mom rides in a Tucker and I've tried it a few times and I really like it. They are extremely comfortable, and they are cut for the gaited horses and the way they move. In other words they are cut so that the horse is able to move more freely under the saddle. The same goes for the Buena vista saddles, they're made like a western/english saddle they have features of both. I know a lot of gaited horse owners own at least one of these, I love mine. The main thing about Walkers, is that they move completely different than other horses and when choosing a saddle, make sure that it's not going to pinch them or keep them from moving freely. Hope this helps a little.

i love tucker saddles...a lot of horses at the college I went to had them, as did the teachers. they really fit the gaited horses well and were super comfy.
Someone else mentioned Big Horn saddles....I currently own 2--a leather one and a synthetic one. And they have worked well with all of my gaited horses too, and are much much more affordable :) And still pretty darn comfy :)
