Corriente show saddle questions

Because I've never seen a Corriente saddle in person I'd appreciate any help regarding quality of saddle, silver. The seller states the tree is rawhide covered wood. It's a "silver" laden show saddle. Thanks

I know a lady who does custom leather work, builds saddles, makes harnesses etc. I can't comment on the silver the Corriente saddles have on them but she told me she thought the Corriente's were one of the best values out there.

I have a wade ranch not the show version, but almost bought one this spring. I think it's really nice for the money...the only down thing to me was the quality of the fleece on the underside of the saddle. Could have been thicker, but heck, I use a pad so it's really a non issue.

I think that corriente says that the saddle is comparable to montana on their show saddles. The conchos on my wade are sterling I believe, quite thin but backed by the leather concho so once again...no big issue.

For the money you can't beat it. Blows any of the lower grades away.
