Testimonial After years of training and competing consistently competitive dressage horses, one of my main concerns upon taking up the Western Riding discipline, was finding a western saddle that would allow me to communicate with the horse by putting me in the correct position, and by making that effortless.  Pete and Sue Carlisle of Maverick Saddlery, after much discussion, did just that. Using the first saddle purchased I won the Rookie Horse of the Year title in 2005, 6 months after taking up the discipline.  My husband and 10 year old son also ride in the same style saddle and have also experienced the ease of schooling and success in the show ring.  I recently had a show saddle made and continue to be impressed with their level of craftsmanship and understanding of what it is the rider and horse need, to be a successful and happy team Jeanette Robins July 2006 .......................................................................................   Thank you so much for all your help and patience.  Your workmanship and skill is amazing and you produce a truly beautiful product.  The saddle is fantastic to ride in - I love it.  Thanks again, Esther and John Russell.  Received gratefully with a box of chocolates!  September 2006
