I'm in the saddle market for my gaited Morgan mare. She has decent
withers, good back, little wide in the shoulders and 'normal' (ie standard
western trees) don't do the trick. I currently ride an Aussie/Western
cross that is incredibly comfortable for me, but unless she's getting on the
lighter side of her weight, it really doesn't fit her all that well - she's got
about 20 white hairs on her right wither/shoulder area since shedding out this
spring. Any suggestions on what might work. I'm looking at Steele
saddles and really like their designs and tree concept, but wondering if
treeless is too 'loose' for comfort on a mare that has her moments in the
skittish department?
