Debra,

I wanted to thank your for introducing me to the Debra Sibley Ultra Lite Saddle!

For the first time since April of 1999 I was able to run my barrel horse Sissy 100% pain free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ran her 5 times this past weekend and even placed in the 1D three out of those 5 runs.  The other 2 runs I was 1 and 2 placing's out of the 1 D.  I normally would not have run her so many times but I just had to keep testing my body.

It was totally amazing and like a miracle for me to be able to do this.  My friend Bonnie knows how much I have been thru for the past 7 years trying to barrel race without hurting so much.     

I will be running at 3 shows this upcoming Labor Day weekend and will have the biggest smile on my face the entire time. As we can afford it, Bennie (my husband) and I will be getting rid of our BM sports saddles and replacing them with your great Debra Sibley ultra Lites!!!!!!!!!!! We are customers for life now.

Thank you so much and God bless!

Kristi

Hi Deb;

I just had to write you about some of my experiences with the Ultralite.  This saddle really gets attention wherever I go. Every person that has gotten on one of my saddles has turned around and ordered one.  I just was at a race with two horses.  I had no help, so one guy that  team ropes and starts colts was there and offered to help me.  He took off on one of my horses at a lope and when he come back he said, "I like this saddle and how you can get your feet ahead and keep them there!'  High compliments from a guy (& roper) no less who thinks this is more like a "Real Saddle". I have had this saddle on a small, almost no withered 14' 2" foundation bred horse as well as a 15' 3" race bred gelding.  It has also been on some cutting bred geldings.  It has fit everyone.  I have had it on  horses with little withers and some with a lot.  You feel free in this saddle compared to the trappy feel of the BM.  That had me very concerned since my horse can be very droopy.  However, I was very surprised when I ran and never felt like I was getting dashboarded out.  My horse even rammed both front feet in the ground, yeah he's a peach sometimes, and I went up but I came back down in the middle.  I had him do this same thing in my BM and I almost came off. It keeps you centered and your feet in the correct position.  I love that you can get forward coming out of the turns instead of feeling like a pogo stick leaving the barrel. Granted, my one horse is extreme.  If it works for him, it will work on any of them! I have had it on kinder horses and I have never felt a run go so smooth. If your horse really powers out, this saddle helps you with that.  I have become such a believer, that I sold all my BM saddles and ride nothing but Ultralites.  It means a lot when the manufacturer is a barrel racer herself who understands what we are talking about.  My physical limitations kept me from riding a lot in the past but  now, the most comfortable spot is on my horse. If a person wants a saddle that is balanced and keeps a body centered and comfortable, the ultralite is the way to go!

Thanks again!

Dear Debra,

    I LOVE MY SADDLE!!!! I have been riding like a mad woman...no pun intended. I have to tell you it was awkward at first....Until I got the stirrups set just right and rode it a few times it is fantastic. I will have my first competition with it in a few weeks. Being gone in Florida for awhile and also trying to prepare for the trip...well I didn't get much rode...So I am polishing everyone up and will hit the road soon with my new saddle!!!! YIPPEE! I will let you know how we do! Wish us well. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Talk more later,
 Amber

Dear Debra,

 Your saddles are the best!!! Since I was 8 I've ridden the same saddle! Wore it out, and refused to buy anything else that brand.  I broke down and tried a few different kinds and finally found one that I loved.  Then I sat in your saddle and I'm hooked!!! OMG it's the best!!!

Thank you so much,
Janee

Debra:

 I just have to tell you that if I had not already been sold on the Ultralite, I truly am now!!!!! Last night I worked two horses in one of my traditional treed saddles. By the time I got done riding my lower back was killing me...... Since I got my Ultralite I have had no lower back pain at all! In addition my sorrel mare that has been working fantastic and really quiet in the Ultralite was fussy about her face and tossed her head and did not seem focused on really working the pattern in the treed saddle. The other big thing I noticed is both of the horses really reduced their stride and did not move as free and smooth as they have been in the Ultralite. I guess I have gotten spoiled by the Ultralite!

Thanks,
Marc

Hello!!!

I bought one of your saddles, got it in on a Tuesday and ran with it 3 times at the May Fest in Hattiesburg that week end. I really like the saddle, I won over a $1,000 dollars !!! With a saddle that I got 5 days earlier!!!

Thank you very much,

 Hey Debra,

I just wanted to thank you for convincing me to try one of your saddles! Wow,how long did that take:)
I was so leary of getting out of my old saddle I have ridden for many years Even though I have tried about every major brand there is on the market in my 35+ years of competing, yours is the best!
As you know even after I purchased it and rode in it everyday, I wouldn't compete in it because I was afraid my horse wouldn't run as well. Can you believe it!
Then you finally told me, "Just do it, you won't be sorry!"
Panama and I had fallen into the 2D, two times in a row and I was getting a little discouraged. Then I ran in your saddle and was back in the 1D.
Not only that but he ran his fastest time ever in an arena I have been competing in for years! I am sold on your saddles and will be purchasing another one.
It has not only improved my times but has helped with the joint pains, it is soooo comfortable. It must feel the same way to Panama and I am pleased I can help him feel more comfortable.

Thank You So Much!!!!

Tammy
