Re: [RC] Saddle fit for mules

["Desoto Custom Saddlery" <desotosaddle@voyager.net>]

Hi Karen,

Please check out my web site listed below. I am a 18 year veteran endurance
rider and I do build my custom endurance saddle to fit mules or any kind of
equine back. We use a special type of bar in the trees that is designed by
my tree maker just for mules. These bars are much straighter so they do not
rock in the middle of their backs.
