Watson Saddlelite vs Distance

feeds@yuku.com (coolpapabill) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 11:11:55 GMT

Hi all, this appears to be the place to get answers about Watson saddles.
I'm interested the differences between the Watson Saddlelite (balanced seat)
Distance Runner (deeper setback seat) from those that have ridden both.
I'm a big guy 6'1" and 250lbs. I ride a TWH ,he has a typical walker back and
has never had saddle fitting issues. This will be the first flex panel for both of us.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Problems with Imus Comfort Bits?

feeds@yuku.com (cclarsencc) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:01:58 GMT

I spoke with Jake at Gaits of Gold and was told there was a problem with some of the Imus bits getting too loose in the middle and causing some pinching. If they are under 1yr old, they will be replaced free. If they are between 1-2yrs, they will be replaced for a $40 fee. If they are over 2yrs, the warranty has expired. Contact Jake at GOG 877-884-2328 for details.She has since redesigned the bits, so this should not be a problem any more. They are a really great bit in helping to get your...

New saddle

feeds@yuku.com (allison) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 10:34:30 GMT

Well, new to me - Ortho Flex stitchdown. I have typically ridden a trooper and a western - the stitchdown is more of an english saddle. Any tips on making the switch? I seem to be sitting more upright on the saddle - not on my seat bones as I am used to, did shorten the stirrup leathers because I seemed to have too much swing in them and that helped quite a bit with my security in the saddle. I am wondering about moving the stirrup leathers forward a slot (there are three settings and it...

Flex Panel saddles for Us Larger folks

feeds@yuku.com (sweetgrass) — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 18:41:04 GMT

I am new to not only this website but to gaited horses. I am waiting for a Watson saddle, and currently riding a Tucker saddle. While I was at the farriers a couple days ago a custom saddlemaker for Missouri Foxtrotters recommended nothing but a rigid tree saddle for "us heavier folks". Admittedly I am not the feather-lite, but I have never heard this comment before, and was wondering if this is true or just a sales pitch to try to get me to buy another saddle? Has anyone had...

Anyone buying a RL Watson saddle read this

feeds@yuku.com (gare) — Wed, 20 May 2009 08:30:11 GMT

RL Watson LIED to me and from the emails i have got i am not the only one he has lied to. I have a saddle he said he would give me a 2 week trial on. If i was unhappy with it i could send it back and get my money back. Now he said because the saddle is black he woul not take it back !!! When i got the saddle it had a defective pannel on it with wrinkles on it that looked TERRIBLE. I have a 17 inch Arizona deep seat that does not stay adjusted on my horse and IT NEVER CAME with any...

3 Times Is Not The Charm For My Watson

feeds@yuku.com (walkin45) — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 18:17:41 GMT

3 horses , 3 no fits. Lilly it bridges in the middle, the LW in the very front, and Rebel -way to wide. Tried all pads and no pads. Very disgusted to say the least. LEaving on a ride and have a horse that has no saddle.

Since last May, I have been riding Cooper in a Watson Distance Runner. I have absolutely loved this saddle....and Coop has seemed very comfortable in it also. However, here recently, I've been having some issues. (Judy...I think you may have read about my rushing issue with him...b/c I believe you mentioned trying him bareback.) For the past month or so...when we ride, it seems like Cooper has been uncomfortable about something. (Shaking his head, stretching his neck out a lot, and...

Watson Saddle Special

feeds@yuku.com (bobf5) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:04:55 GMT

The next 10 orders for the new and improved Watson Econo-Lite will be sold for $800.00 ea.

The Econo-Lite is the Distance runner with some cost reductions only. The tree and seat are the same as the Distance runner. The fenders are a heavier gauge of leather, but without the backing sewn on the fenders. Looks identical to the Distance runner.

If you need a lighter saddle nows the time to order one.

Are now being made by prisoners--

"Yes, Big Horn has been bought out by American Saddlery. Going forward, we will have our Imus saddles made by the Colorado Correctional System. They have been making saddles for over 20 years and do some of the most meticulous and beautiful work in their saddle production I have seen in my 42 years of being in this business. "

I got my Watson saddleright today. The same one you posted about here in Oct. She did not sell it on e-bay.--Bidding had ended by the time I saw your post--and I contacted her abd bought it. I really wanted a brown, but the main thing is the saddle not really the color.

Which Saddleright pad

feeds@yuku.com (Claudia in IN) — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 13:13:29 GMT

You who have Watson Saddles- which Saddleright pad do you have --
I'm looking at either the round barrel & endurance -- or do I get the endurance for dropped & regular rigging--

I think this is what Mike & I are getting each other for Christmas -- I've been watching Ebay and missed a really good deal on one while we were at Shawnee--

Liddy-- which one is it that you have???

I'll be selling our current Western one after Christmas I...

Distance Runner vs Featherlite

feeds@yuku.com (Lady Tas) — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 16:52:47 GMT

I believe the feather lite is the "stripped down" version of the distance runner. Is there any functional reason to choose a Distance runner over the feather lite? Do they both feel the same same to sit in? Are there any options on the distance runner that are highly recommended?
