My cousin and I made the trip to your place with the plan to buy one
saddle. Happily, we bought TWO, and are very pleased. The fitting
process was simple, the shipping time was short. We both really love
our Double O Liberty’s…. Thanks so much.

I ordered my Liberty saddle from Double O at Thanksgiving. Was very
shocked when it arrived on Dec. 10th. The leather quality was
better than I expected, and it fits my Skeeter Bug (TWH) very
well. Working with Brenda was easy, and she answered all my questions.
When my husband is ready to purchase, we’ll be coming back to Double O.

I wish to express my gratitude for your efforts during the purchase
and delivery of my gaited horse trail saddle.
My trainer is impressed with the quality of the saddle
and my mare and
I are so happy with it. I treasure integrity and support. Both were met
in contact with you.
Warmly,

Hi Brenda,
Well, I got my saddle and I am delighted. It is
beautiful and it fits
perfectly. Scout and I have gone on several rides and he seems to like
the new saddle as much as I do. I think I now have the ideal saddle on
the ideal horse and life is good! Thank you so much for all your help -
you definitely help me pick out the best type of saddle and features
for
me and my horse.
I am a happy girl!
Best,
Caroline (purchased an Allegany Renegade
Endurance)
Hi Brenda,
Just to let you know the saddle is great. It fits
the horse and
me. Very comfortable. I've tried it several times and found
the gears that we had when we rode english but I couldn't get my legs
to
him in the heavy western saddle. It is like having the power
steering
and and cruise control working again. I also feel secure without
the knees and ankles twisted out of sockets. The horn for added
security
and suede seat make it very enjoyable. It is very pretty and
looks
great on the horse too. Very stable and no shifting.
It is light enough to even enjoy saddling up. I think he likes
the less weight too.
Thanks for all your help!

Brenda,
Thank you very much for all the assistance and time you
gave me on sizing
and ordering my new Allegany saddle. I couldn't be happier and I
know that Shane loves it by the way he was gaiting yesterday when we
rode
with it for the first time. His gait was fantastic and I know it
is all due to the saddle.
The workmanship on the saddle, reins and headstall are
spectacular!
You can tell the pride and love that went into building everything
was from someone that has a very special talent.
I will be sending everyone I know that has a gaited
horse to you for
their next saddle. Please feel free to use me for a reference for
any potential customer that is looking at an Allegany.

For those wishing to purchase one of Brenda and Dave's
horses, I'd like
to tell you my experience with the Oberts.
I was searching for a horse for my non riding husband
who at 67 yrs
young, decided he wanted to trail ride. I already had a horse I
used
for trail rides but I was somewhat concerned for my husband because he
was an inexperienced rider. I explained everything to Brenda concerning
my husband. She knew I needed a level headed, brave, non spooky horse
for
Leo After many conversations with Brenda, I chose a TWH
named
Cooper for my husband. Brenda worked so close with me for exactly
what I needed for my husband. Cooper has been a delight to us
both
and he is everything Brenda said he would be and so much more. He has
such
a loving personality
Thank you so much Brenda and Dave

Thank you so much for the great horses!! They are exactly as you
described,
calm , gentle and well broke. The saddles fit great as well. As my
business
grows and I need more horses and tack, you will be the person I will
call.
Thanks again for all the help.

I bought Gemma, a registered Tennesse Walking Horse
mare, from Brenda
3 or 4 years ago. Everything that she told me about the mare was
100% accurate from how she would ride to how she would be around my
other
horses. Brenda had other horses for sale; however she was able to
assess my riding ability and needs and fit me with the perfect
horse.
As a first time gaited horse owner, Brenda also took the time to
educate
me about the differences in riding a gaited horse as opposed to a
quarter
horse. She has been an invaluable resource. In my 35 plus
years
of owning and buying horses, I have never had a better
experience.

I am very impressed with my continued relationship with
The Double O
Ranch and its owners David and Brenda Obert. In my experiences
these
individuals are excellent when it comes to the care and placement of
their
horses. They give sound advice (although I did not personally
take
it in the beginning) and are always available to answer questions I
might
have concerning my animals.
In March of 2006 I purchased Double O Shyboy, a
Kentucky Mountain
Horse, who, at the time, was a coming 2-year-old. I am a novice
when
it comes to certain aspects of riding and the Obert’s realized this and
tried to persuade me to make a safer decision when it came to the
purchase
of my first horse. Although I did not follow their advice, they
worked
with Shy and I through Parelli videos, books, trainers, and their
facilities
to help me mold Shy into the horse he is today. Through patience
and training we have successfully created a horse I will be able to
enjoy
for years to come.
After purchasing Shy and moving to a much larger
home/farm, I realized
I would need a buddy horse. Brenda and Dave suggested a much
older
gelding for placement. Brown-R-Nells came to our home with Shy in
September of 2006. He was a perfect match for my husband who had
never ridden before. Nells was the “rock” that Shy could stand on
when feeling nervous or scared. Having Nells on our farm helped
Shy
through some of his more spooky inclinations. Sadly, Nells passed
in 2007, but not before teaching my husband and I, that bullet- proof
horses
do exist.
In May of 2007, Chewy, a POA was the next
placement on my list.
Brenda and Dave felt that he would be a solid horse for my husband as
well
as a great “buddy” for Shy. They are now BEST friends and will
not
go any where without the other. Chewy has also helped Shy through
his more temperamental coming-four-year-old stages. He has taught
Shy to be aware of and respect other individual’s space.
The Obert’s tack store is also a wonderful place
to get quality
tack and solid information. The Obert’s do not sell anything that
does not meant their personal standards for tack. If they would
not
use something on their own horses, they don’t carry it in their
store.
I have ridden in many different types of saddles and with many
different
types of bridle and bit. The Obert’s worked with me to find a
combination
that works perfectly for my horse and I. I can honestly say that
I have never ridden a more comfortable saddle than the one I purchased
at the Double O Tack Store.
Throughout all of the above placements as well as
training and
transport, the Obert’s have always been forthcoming with information
regarding
each of their horses. In the 3 years that I have dealt with the
Obert’s,
I have never felt as if I were being cheated or lied to just to make a
sale. These individuals are honest with their opinions and will
not
shy from telling the honest truth, even if it may hurt at
first!!!
I know that I will not make any equine/equestrian purchases in the
future
without first checking with Dave and Brenda for their expert opinion
and
advice.
