 | Jim Rea - Colorado horse trainer and owner of the Colorado Natural Horsemanship Center in Calhan, Colorado says: "If you care about your horse's well being and performance then using a Synergist Saddle just makes sense. Synergist is the only saddle I know of that is designed to fit the back of a moving horse! You wouldn't expect your horse to be comfortable wearing a poor fitting saddle any more than you'd be comfortable wearing someone else's shoes."

 | Donna Snyder-Smith - Donna Snyder-Smith, Master Equestrian Coach of two world endurance gold medal winning riders, Centered Riding Clinician, author of "The Complete Guide to Endurance Riding and Competition", and long-time instructor says: "The English Synergist, DSS style saddle, is simply the best English saddle on the market today for the sport of endurance riding. Well made, with a very comfortable seat designed to allow a rider to attain a "centered", balanced position with little or no effort over all types of terrain. Its extra wide panel design and roomy spinal channel help ensure the horse's comfort. Event riders will find this saddle to their liking as well." Visit » Donna's web site. |
 | Moses WoodsonDear Dave, I can not tell you what a pleasure it was working with you and your crew at Synergist. From the tree to the simplest detail of my saddle you paid close attention to what I wanted and made every effort to bring the saddle that I had always wanted into reality. I never had a working saddle that fit my Tennessee Walking Horses and that I could rope and hold stock on. From the very first time I sat in the seat it was unlike any saddle that I had ever owned it actually fit me, and I am a big guy. You guys not only put together a quality saddle but created a custom one-of-a-kind saddle like no other. My hat is off to you and the crew at Synergist. God Bless.

 | Greg Pryor - Multiple AERC endurance award winner, 2005 "Comfortable for the rider and horse, and fits many horses. We train all our young horses ourselves and always use your saddle on everyone with a good fit. We also feel very comfortable and secure with your saddle when riding a horse for the first time. And it's a great and comfortable experience for the young horses." CLICK » to read about Greg Pryor's remarkable endurance riding accomplishments in a Synergist saddle. |
 | Bridget Cavanaugh - Endurance Rider "I did the Tevis Cup and after 100 miles, 22 1/2 hours in the saddle, I did not have a single saddle sore or rub mark. I sat there in Auburn the next morning watching everyone else lick their wounds while I felt like a million bucks. Synergist Saddles allow you to ride in a balanced form and I think that is critical for you and your horse." |

 | "Petey" "Thank you so much for the excellent craftsmanship you put into Petey's saddle. The fit is like a second skin, and despite his wide back, my legs are comfortable. The saddle is very light and Petey's movement is unfettered. Riding Petey in your saddle is like sitting on the couch without the TV! I hope more people have the joy of riding big horses with your saddle. " Thanks again, Loren Hardy & Petey. |
