Re: saddle fitting

["Gene Recor" <gene@dreamsoft.com>]

If your horse is wide shouldered it is hard to find a saddle that fits the
width and won't roll on him. I had that problem with my mare and I got a
Marciente saddle.520-636-9737 Custom made they run around $600. $700 but I
got mine used and If it didn't fit her,I could have sent it in to Frank
Marciente and her would have fixed it for her. If he is high withered the
StoneWall is pretty nice, same price range 909-928-2064 they are lighter
weight under 20#. The synergist is a great saddle too just more money. Patti
