I’ve got a Ricochet and an Eloquence and so far so good (can’t remember exactly when I bought them, but I think they were both around 5 years ago- right after the elbow in 2009). Except for a little fading on the flap of my Ricochet where the stirrup leathers clearly rub, they seem to be holding up well.
That said, I think the quality may depend on who did it when. I knew there was a time where they were using different trees and/or saddlemakers and things just weren’t quite right. And then things really started getting wonky after Nikki Newcombe left (at least for us, as she was one of the big reasons I got anything to fit my giant spotted beast!). I don’t know if they’ve gotten all of that worked out, but for awhile I feel like the customer service was lacking compared to when I was dealing with Nikki there.
In case you haven’t already, I suggest also checking with Liz Schroeder (she’s not on this board that I know of). She also has a tex eventer I believe (or at least she did at some point). And, I think she got it around the same time you got yours…
