Rocking R barrel saddles are amongst the best on the market right now.
They are made out of a Steele equifit tree, nice and really well built. I have heard that the quality has been lowered a bit since Randall Black passed away but you hear that about most companies now.
Because Rocking R uses Steele Saddle Trees inside the saddle, it would make a decent buy.

Manufacturer: Rocking R Saddlery
Customer: I got this saddle from a local dealer for less than $1k. The shop owner had many of these saddles and she allowed me test before purchasing. The Rocking R saddlery company is based in AL, and they were excellent to deal with, asking many questions on how I wanted it exactly made.
It took them 9 weeks to build it but it was SO worth the wait.

Quality: The saddle is beautiful to look at, is comfortable, is tough, and comes with warranty. The produces know their stuff. The leather is American made, and the silver is Montana Silversmiths. With the additional padding of the seat, it would shrink the seat by about a half-inch.
