Saddles

[JUDYK89@aol.com]

Could we also add Sharon Saare, Synergist, De Soto.  I'm on a saddle hunt.  Have a very round, wide withered mare (hopefully she will get more definition as she conditions) that my saddle slides up no matter what. I use a Bighorn endurance now ( I think the center fire rigging "pushes" the saddle forward as the girth keeps wanting to slide off of the biggest part of her belly)and the further forward the saddle slides, the heavier she is on the forehand (it's frustrating).  Am training her on the crupper, but long term I want a saddle that FITS, and won't slide around so much. Am leaning towards the De Soto (love the price) know people who LOVE the Synergist (but had hard time getting the right fit at first).

I don't want any flames re: different saddle makers, just facts on how they fit different types of horses.

Thanks,
Judy
