i saw a new correntie saddle today
and the young man riding was so proud of it i didn't have the heart to tell him that it was junk
when he wasn't looking i went and looked at the rigging and the way it was put togather and i think when he has roped a few big cattle out of it if the rigging dosn't come out it will streach and start to sore horses backs
but i geuss we'll see
i'll keep ya'll posted as i don't think it will take long
until later

My son bought a corriente saddle with an assoc. tree in it abt a yr ago. He has done alot of riding in it and loves it. Abt a month ago he pulled an 800 lb hiefer into a trailer out of it with no wear and tear on the saddle or the horses back. Guess it just depends on which one you get.

I have a Corriente team roper, it had worked well for the last 5 years, very comfortable and no problems. As with Billy Cook I live in Greenville TX, there are 2 Billy Cook saddles, one with a Greenville TX maker and another with Sulphur Okla maker tag . The Billk Cook Sulphur OK ropers , wade, cutters are made in Greenville TX even though they say Sulphur OK on the tag. Gary Castillo of Legendary Saddles makes them for Billy Cook, they ship about 25-30 weekly. I have been riding my Billy Cook roper for almost 10 years and I never had any problems with it.
I would buy another one if I needed it if I could find one just like it. The Billy Cook Greenville tagged saddles are or were made by Longhorn here in Greenville also.
Greenville Saddle Makers:
Legendary
Both Billy Cooks
Dale Martin
Shaw Saddles
Diamond V
ETS--East Texas Saddles
Longhorn
Rico
Cactus were until about a year or so ago.
Probably a couple more that I can't think of.
Greenville is suppose to be the saddle making capitol of the US

Hi, My daughter has been riding a Corriente saddle for the last 5 years. Still rock solid. She runs barrels in it as well as riding out. No heavy duty roping or anything, but we are very pleased with it.

I don't know maybe we are talking about a different Corriente but when I talked to Wayne Baize who owns the place he told me he makes them in the USA not a manufacturing company. I bought a Reiner from him, really nice saddle and rides super nice. I know I don't rope in it but have other friends who do competition and day work in his ropers and like them really well.

I ride in a Fallis now as a main saddle but had to sell several other saddles to afford it 3400.00 but I doubt I will ride in anything else here on out.

For someone who doesn't have the money for a custom saddle the Corrientes are nice enough saddles

Everybody seems to think they are pretty and hand made..I have not read anything about how they actually fit a horse. To me thats the most important thing. I am considering one but not till I know if they sore up a horse or leave dry spots and all the other....anyone know?
