Ultimate Saddle Testimonials

I am anamateur barrel racer over 40 and I have had two. J. Ultimate Saddles.They have been the key to my successful competition. I attended the M. J. Spring Clinic and found a new saddle that was even better suited for my advancement. The clinic was a great tune up for me and my horse prior to the Reunion. At the Reunion,where there were over 400 competitors, I won the money and advanced to the finals placing 6th overall and they nicknamed me "Colorado Flash." The Reunion was definitely a thrill to be a part of and the highlight to my winter season. Them Ultimate Saddle ontinues to gives me the confidence I need in running to win.

I now have 4 of these saddles and they fit 2 quarter horses, 1 morgan and 1 arabian. BUT the most significant one is a paint QH mare with a seemingly wide back, good withers but has one of those prominent shoulder bones with a dip behind it. A few years ago when I first got her I tried many saddles on her. (I had an MJ ultimate for all the others but I wanted each horse to have its own saddle). Anyway, I would buy a saddle, ride it for about 3 rides and take it back and try another type. What she was doing is lunging at the lope. Fast one stride, slow one stride, very choppy, had her head down sorta twisted to the side. Very frustrating and of course I thought it was just her and a training problem. Bless her little heart for me putting all those (other) bad fitting saddles, she is just the best horse I could hope for now. One day, I put one of the MJ's on her and WAHLA - I had a rhythmic slow loping horse. I bought the 4th MJ after that. She is now very trainable for lead changes and whatever else I try now. AND she now competes I barrel racing with a little 7 year old girl and they just won their first buckle at a 4 series youth rodeo (she rides a 12" MJ Ultimate). Who would have thought a saddle could make this much difference.

LOVE my ultimate saddle. I got an MJ saddle about 17 years ago and rode in it till last year. I was in need for another saddle since I was now running 2 horses. My husband took me to a huge saddle shop and I sat in about 30 saddles. I held off in sitting in the Ultimate until the end. I finally sat in it and I told my husband "Ahhh, it feels like home". So I came home with it! I love my 2 MJ saddles and wouldn’t trade them for the world!

I LOVE my Josey saddle. The stirrups and seat fit me like they were made for me. I even talked my husband into taking my oldJosey saddle(he loves his too) so I could buy a new one. When my daughter outgrows her current saddle I plan to buy her an Ultimate also. If you're sending out coupons for responding, I'll be in the market for a new saddle soon...LOL

I bought an older model MJ about a year ago off ebay. It was brand new, still had the tags on it, and had been sitting in someone’s house. I’ve never seen another one like it. Every edge on it is scalloped and it has silver plates mounted on it. I originally bought it because it was so unique and beautiful.

Then this spring, for some strange reason, I put this never-been-used decked out silver plated saddle on a 2 yr old I was going to break. I’m still not quite sure why I decided to do it other than my filly is gorgeous and so is the saddle. Always in the past I’ve used an older work saddle to break a horse.

What I found out the first time I rode in the saddle is that I was able to stay on top of my horse if she bucked. I am famous for not being able to stick a bucking horse. That’s not good when you break horses like I do. But this MJ let me keep my seat and I felt so much more secure on my young horse and training went so muck quicker because I wasn’t worried about getting hurt.

I was so impressed with the security this saddle gave me that I just had to have more. I started replacing all of the other brand saddles in my barn. I bought a brand new Iron Cross square skirt, a “like new” used round skirt and another brand new square skirt – all in the space of about 6 weeks!

I breed, raise and train horses (Top Tally, Talents Dark Angel are the more well known ones). From now on when someone comes to try one of my horses, they will see them saddled with a MJ.

I've had my Josey for about 5 years now and Yeah I like it. I've even converted 2 of my friends and they're both looking for one. I was won over when I went out to the ranch about 5 years ago to a clinic and I rode in one for the day the next week I had one ordered! Had some pretty big wins in it!!lol ARHA Amature Barrels World Champ this year in it !!! LOL

I have 3 saddles I have gotten from Josey's! Two are ultimates-square skirts and 1 is the older pay window-rond skirt. I have actually had 4 total- I sold my round skirt ultimate to a friend who fell in love with it and talked me out of it. Course I just turned around and bought a square skirt at the clinic I attended-ha-ha! I LOVE them all! Wish I could afford one of the new Flex saddles-they look awesome.

I currently have one Josey Ultimate at the moment, have had it since 01 with no problems. I LOVE it, always have. It has always been my pick to put on my fastest horse, and i've deffintly tried my share on him and always come back to it. Last weekend alone it helped me to win 5th in the finals at the NBHA Texas state show out of 535 horses!

I am not a spring chicken anymore and I need a comfortable saddle. I like the ultimate because the way the stirrups are hung, you can keep your leg position, stay balanced and keep your horse balanced as well. It just seems to fit.

I LOVE my josey ultimate saddle can't say enough good things about it. I try to ride in my daughters saddles and they are so uncomfortable to me. I love the forward hung stirrups and the deep seat. I also have to say I am a large girl and the 15in is very generous in size. I don't feel like I am spilling out of it like the other 15in saddles we have. I would love to try the flex tree next but I am a JOSEY fan.

I ride a Josey Ultimate square skirt, 14.5 inch seat and love it. It is by far the best saddle I have ever owned and so far everyone who has tried mine to see if they like them agree.
