I live in Oregon and have had the great pleasure of buying a used saddle from you folks.  You were so professional and personable I hate to see you retire, but guess congratulations are in order.  What will happen to the shop? Good luck to you and thank you!

and cold in the winter !

Speak soon. Cannot wait now !!!!

Hi Gery,
I just wanted to let you know that the saddle arrived.  You were right on target with recommendations about fit for the horse and for me, too.  The Evolution is very well made, offers a nice balanced feel, and gives sense of security that I had not really anticipated.   What a nice saddle!  :-)
Thanks so much for your help.
Best Regards,

You have been great to work with and I would buy another saddle from you in a heartbeat!  I can tell that you care about your customers.  I may be in the market for a reining saddle a ways down the line and I will call you again for a saddle!
 
Thanks Gery, you've been great!

and as you promised - lovely, lovely leather and workmanship. 
I am also so appreciative of your advice and honesty. If you ever need to use my name/email as a reference for the Crates Travel Lite and the Sommer Evolution for future customers please send their inquiries my way. Now I've got 2 fantastic saddles for both my horses. Happy, happy customer!!

Thanks so much for going over and above with customer service.  
Nancy

I don't think Holtz Saddlery ever had a more demanding customer than me!
But Gery always gave me service with a smile and never gave up on answering all my questions.
As an overseas customer I was a bit afraid to do business via only internet contact and not knowing the face on the other side but Gery never took advantage of anything.
If there was a competition for "most trustfull supplier" I would no hasitate to put Gery on the platform.
Thank you for everything, Gery!

I wanted to tell you how much we are enjoying that saddle..

Jane,   North Carolina

Dear Gery

It is such a pleasure doing business with you. It is rare to find an honest business person anymore. You can be sure I will spread the word and will be ordering from you in the future. I love my Flex Lite Endurance saddle and feel great that my horse does well in it, too. I can’t understand why it was discontinued and feel lucky to have one. Thank you for your great customer service and help in answering my questions.

Judy, Calif.


Hi Gery,     I have received the saddle, just this morning!!!!!!!!!!
I am very excited, the saddle is really beautiful, it has arrived in very good shape and it is still more beautiful than I expected. I am very happy and moreover the colour is what I wanted. The saddle seems very good and seriously fashioned. I can't believe I have it !
I will try it tonight or tomorrow on the back of one of my friends' horses and I hope I will be able to put it very soon on the back of my horses ! as soon as I can put it on my horses, I will take photos that I will send to you.
I still thank you and your team very much for all you did, the pads and saddle were really well  protected and packaged and I will not hesitate to recommend you to my friends and have still business with you in the future, it is a real pleasure!   I wish you all the best,
Best regards,
Nicolas.

Three years ago I was looking for a saddle to fit my 14hh aging Paso Fino. It had to be light, short in length and comfortable. My wife and I have tried almost everything available. We were interested in the Sommer Evolution endurance saddle. We ride Ortho Flex saddles so we are somewhat spoiled but now believe that the OF saddles were not the best thing for our horses. They do resell quickly! 

Gery send it out for me to try .. It was beautiful to say the least. My Paso did not go as well as I would of like and it left some dry spots on his back. So, Gery took it back with a smile. We looked at the Oakfield but it was new and he was having trouble getting them back then.

I was still hung up on its beautiful looks of the Evolution and had Gery send it out once again to give it a second chance! Same results (see wife laughing) the saddle went back once again. For years I have made do with the OF and a cheaper Abetta saddle, but I was always wanting something else. I have searched and tried and returned more then I will admit in writing.

On June 16, 2005 I got up the nerve to email Gery regarding a few saddle options. Silly guy, he answered me and we order a Crates Traveler. He was so helpful once again, going back and forth with Crates trying to help me make the right tree/style choice.

The saddle arrived .. I love it .. My Paso loves it .. My guy gaited the best he has in many many years, the tree is flared at the withers allowing free shoulder movement, the seat is doubled padded for me and the rear skirting is also split in the center also allowing free movement. 

If you are looking for a saddle and Gery Holtz sells that brand - There is no one better to deal with!!

Thanks for your help, Jay Keiser

Gery I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for your information to me on the plantation saddle. It arrived the day you said it would was packaged very well for the long shipment to me. After riding the saddle a couple of times I decided this was the saddle for me. I have applided several coats of leather new to the saddle which makes it  shine like new money. Thanks for your help and when I need something else you will be the first place I go to look for it. I would not hesitate to recommend you to any of my friends.  Thanks                 Johnny Jones       Georgetown, Ky.

Dear Gery...Just a note to let you know you now have another satisfied customer to add to what I am sure is a growing list.  My Reinsman Show Saddle arrived carefully wrapped and in perfect condition.  The saddle is everything you described and fits my horse perfectly. What a pleasure it is to do business with someone who is accessible and willing to answer questions!  Thank you for your prompt professional service.  My husband, Larry, was very impressed with your customer service and product as well. Annellen Zalis ( Cape Cod )

Hi Gery,

   Just a short note to tell you how much I love my saddle.  The quality and appearance are everything I wanted and then some.  I also want to compliment you and your company on your professional service and the many questions you answered and not once complaining (to me anyway).  I firmly believe business is service. Thanks again for all your help and happy trails.
