SADDLE AND TACK RETURN POLICY:
Saddle and Tack Return Policy In an effort to insure fit and satisfaction, we offer the following return policy on saddles and matching tack purchased directly from Goodnight via internet or phone order and drop-shipped from Circle Y, under the following conditions:
• You must contact our office for a return authorization within one week of receipt of the saddle.
• The saddle must be returned in new condition; no scratches or wear marks, no horse hair or dirt, no dirt scratches in the stirrup, wear marks on straps, etc. If the saddle or tack is not in new/ready-to-sell condition when returned, a deduction will be made in the refund amount, according to the sole discretion of Circle Y Saddles.
• Saddles returned in new condition, as stated above, will not incur a restocking fee.
• Customized saddles and tack will incur a 15% restocking fee, according to the sole discretion of Circle Y Saddles
• Original shipping fees will not be refunded and customer must pay the return shipping cost, except in the case of defective merchandise. Once you receive your saddle, you have one week to assess the fit to your horse and you, during which time you can get authorization to return the saddle if necessary.
We suggest you try the saddle on the horse right away, with a towel or blanket between the horse and saddle and assess the fit before you attach a cinch and ride in the saddle. If there is a question on the fit, get input from someone knowledgeable in saddle fit. Once you have determined the saddle fits your horse, you can cinch it up and sit in it to make sure it is the right fit for you; be very careful not to scratch or mar the leather. If you decide it is a good fit for your horse and you, you may begin riding normally in the saddle; just keep in mind it takes very little riding in a saddle for it to lose its “new” condition.

Rate this product 5 I was the first person to purchase the Wind River saddle--literally the saddle shown above :-) I was a cast member on Horse Master in Oregon and this was the saddle that Julie put on my horse. I am thrilled with the effects of the saddle for both Candy and me. The saddle fits her beautifully--several trainers have said that the fit is great for her. What I didn't expect were the benefits for me. My knees no longer feel "the torque," since the stirrups are turned. Also, I can ride much longer due to the comfort of the ride. We have been on trail rides where we have been the only pair still ready to go after several hours because we both are comfortable! The bonus is the remarks on the beauty of the leather and the tooling. So, hey, we feel good and we look good! BJ Winship

What did you like about it? How did you use it? What changes did you see in your riding or your horse (if applicable)? One of the most comfortable saddles I've ever ridden in. It fits my horse perfectly and looks great too. The workmanship and detail is outstanding.
The staff at Circle Y was very helpful in making my choice. They helped me get the best for both me and my horse. I would absolutely buy from them again.
