Re: [RC] Bob Marshall vs Sports Saddle - Karen SullivanLet me see if this is clear. The Sport saddle is actually made by Sport Saddle Inc in Kentucky...and were developed by Bob Marshall. The saddle is also referred to as a Bob Marshall Sport Saddle. They make endurance, schooling and training and Western style saddles. Bob Marshall also sold the patent to Circle Y to make certain models. They do NOT make the endurance model! They DO make the trainng and schooling model which they call their endurance model. The Circle Y models I have seen have the stirrups in a more forward position. They all have a plate that say Circle Y. The construction, though is basically the same, soft body, hard pommel and cantle, rigging and stirrups suspended from rigging inside the saddle.... some of the circle Y sport saddles you see in tack stores are horrendously expensive. I have several of the "original" Bob Marshall sport saddles, and one Circle Y. I use the Circle Y one (barrel model) for ponying a second horse as I can dally around the horn. It is very comfortable, but more of a walking-jogging ride saddle as the stirrups are too far forward. So.....the thing ask when someone says it is a Bob Marshall......is to ask if it is the original company or a Circle Y....

Pros and Cons? The Sportsaddle looks very much like a Bob Marshall so I was wondering what the difference was.
