Need Advice on a horse saddle

Where has HUD been!

I'm looking at a Cordura saddle 13" youth western. Seems like a pretty good saddle to me.

Does any one have any experience with them? Iv'e seen a wide price range on them, very wide.

well if it were me i wouldnt get a "youth" sized saddle. its been my experiance that the kids grow too dang fast then they whine about their saddle being too small...ugh buy an adult saddle and let em enjoy the thrill of knowing how much they grow by how each year their saddle fits better and better! lol

personaly I would not go with a cordura saddle. they roll and your kid will be singing the blues on a long ride, at least a suede, with a ralide tree,long square skirts, and semi (at least) quarter horse bars, and 2-3 inch cantle, I assume you are looking at pony saddles
