Hey Bonnie
Had one other person tell me that she was able to get her Solstice widened..
had no idea english trees could be changed like that! I grew up in a western
saddle. :)  Thanks for the info..  my saddle is at the ASC saddler right now -
so I hope he can do it!  Thanks for the advice..

It seems to be a little known fact that english saddles with decent trees
can be widened and narrowed. I've had it done on one saddle and will
probably have another one done for me. I have two Smith-Worthington saddles,
both of which were med-wide width trees when purchased. I had my dressage
saddle widened to an extra wide by Smith-Worthington and have been very
pleased with the results. It cost about $80 to do. Whole lot cheaper than a
new saddle. They are in Hartford, Connecticut. There is a saddler in NJ that
has the same machine and the company that makes the flair panel saddles also
has one.
