I am a dealer for Specialized Saddles in North San Diego
County, CA. I am happy to let folks come & try one of mine before they
decide. For the price of a non- adjustable Crates or a cured in urine
Indian leather Tucker- you can have a Specialized Saddle with the
options/choices you desire. You can also order a demo online, however, the
wait is several weeks. They are now offering a gaited type with a sweet
spot and it allows freedom of motion for the gaited horses. It takes about
one minute to adjust the saddle to a near perfect fit, a few minutes to shim
problem horses, etc. Sorry to be blunt, but that's how it is ! See
you on the trail !
