We like these concepts. Our only concern is that the saddle symbol depicted is very "English" rider oriented. We are currently targeting more of the "Western" riders here in the US, though we would like to reach both groups. There seems to be a decent amount of healthy animosity between "western" and "english" riders and therefore, if we sell a product geared for one, it could turn off the other group. I'm not sure how we could depict a saddle that would speak to both groups. Nevertheless, if we had to choose one group over the other, I think we would lean toward the "Western" saddles right now, simply because of our geographic location.
We like this concept. The new "Western" saddle seems too busy or complex. If I didn't know it was a saddle, it might be hard to distinguish. However, we like that you are working on a unique design that would be clearly different from others.
