Debra,

I talked to you a year or so ago about your saddles and my hard to fit short backed mare. After trying about 20 saddles and talking to you through emails I bought my first Debra Sibley Ultra-Flex. I found the saddle I dreamed of, my mare works beautifully now and no more sore back. I have since won year end high points and set some records in omoksee. This saddle has worked awsome on all my horses, and this year I plan to do some rodeos and start really hitting them hard this next year. I could not imagine being with out this saddle ever again, My mares performance, my riding and our times have become all the talk around here. I have even talked a few into buying new ones or used ones. It seems at every show someone wants to try it and I am more than eager to tell everyone how happy I am with it and a little about what I have learned from your history. I am trying to help a few others find used ones for the first saddles and many plan to buy one direct after they ride in it for awhile. Hopefully can send some business your way. You guys have designed one of the best saddles I have ever rode in and beleive me I have tried so many brands in the past few years but yours is the only one I highly reccomend. I am just so happy with my times in events they have gotten so much faster. I believe out of 4 sanctioned weekends I got high point everytime and I had goals of certin times that I thought I would never reach and this year I did and still room for improvement. Oh and I have a bad back and neck and I can go on trail rides or run in the arena and no problems at all. I wish I had found one of these years ago. You have a customer for life. One day I hope to be able to afford a custom one from you maybe if I can win a rodeo next year I will be in touch once again. Put it this way 1 event called arena race the best I ran before this saddle was a 10.4 this year I was doing 9.5 or better. I am so excitted! I can't wait for another full season next year!

Sincerely
Monika Roth

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. I have tried just about every major brand there is on the market in my 35+ years of competing and 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.

Tank You So Much!!!!

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 weekend. I really like the saddle, I won over $1000.00!!! With a saddle that I got 5 days earlier!!!

Thank You So Much,

BT

Debra,

I absolutely LOVE this saddle. I rode at the Shamrock Showdown this past weekend and never lost a stirrup and my horse did not get sore in her back or shoulders. LOVE LOVE the saddle!!! Great product and service!! Give Bret my best and I look forward to being able to buy another one soon.

Thank You so Much,

Ginger

Debra,

I just have to tell you that if I had not already been sold on the Ultra-Flex, 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 Ultra-Flex I have had no lower back pain at all! In addition my sorrel mare that has been working fantastic an really quiet in the Ultra-Flex was fussy about her face and tossed her head and did not seem focused on really working the pattern in the treed saddle. he 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 Ultra-Flex. I guess I have gotten spoiled by the Utra-Flex!

Thanks,
Marc

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 but 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 been the best!!!

Thank You So Much,
Janee

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 a first.... Until I got the stirrups set 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 much rode...So I am polishing everyone up and will hit the road soon with my new saddle!!! YIPPEE! I will let you know hoe we do! Wish us well. hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Hi Deb,

I just had to write you about some of my experiences with the Ultra-Flex. 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 arace 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 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. I 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 the same thing in the BM and I almost cam 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 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 the Ultra-Flex. 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 cantered and comfortable, the Ultra-Flex is the way to go.

Thanks Again!

Debra,

I wanted to thank you for introducing me to the Debra Sibley Ultr-Flex Saddle!

For the first time since Aprill of 1999 I was able to run my barrel horse Sissy, 100% pain free!!!!!!!! I ran fer 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 1D. 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 sprots saddles and replacing them with your great Debra Sibley Ultr-Flex saddles!!!!!!!! We are customers for life now.

Thank You So Much and God Bless!
