I have put at least 25,000 miles on my mountaineer since getting it in September 2011. I ride at least twice a day 6 days a week on rough mountain trails, I do have several different horses (Rockies Mountains, Paso Finos, Peruvian Horse) that I alternate between riding. I have also used it on Drafts and Draft crosses as well as Quarter Horses. This saddle fits them all great and is the most secure and comfortable saddle of any type I have ever owned.
I compete in ACTHA on My Rocky Mountain Horses and also my Paso Fino; Zoey de Apache Pasador who has competed in 20 ACTHA events since February 2015 and has placed in every one, winning 7 out of the 20 and already has 109 points, which has earned him the bronze, silver, and gaited medals. I always ride in my Mountaineer at competitions and have had fellow competitors ask to try it on their horses to see how it feels. They always get off wanting to know how they can get one just like it!
