I am 6'3" and I ride in a Bighorn endurance saddle. I like the older models
better than the newer ones.
The fenders come down just enough and I have a little bit of room to adjust
up or down. The saddle is based on a qua
rter tree, and after 3000 miles of competition and numerous thousands of
training miles, it still is very comfy for my horse and I. You can get them
new for around $450.00
and you can get them with or without a saddle horn.
Hope this helps
