RE: [RC] [RC] Skyrider saddle - Ranelle RubinThere is nothing I have seen that adjusts to fit the wide backed horse like the Skyrider..that is how I found it myself. When I bought the horse, Cary Ridgeway did the pre-purchase exam and said the horse was an excellent prospect but he felt I would have a difficult time fitting a saddle to him...and I did. That is until the Skyrider..the bars are an actual hinge..not just flexible..so they spread to any angle and adjust themselves..there is no adjustment needed..it is hard to describle until you see it.

Nothing seems to work on her. I'm working now with Nancy Temple at Duett Saddles. They make English saddles especially for wide backed horses. Nancy has been great about sending me saddles to try. I'm hoping another size arrives today. I think we're getting close on the right fit! http://www.duettsaddles.com/ chris --- Susan Young <glenn218@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: I'm having trouble finding a saddle to fit my Anglo Arab.
