RE: [RC] Saddles-Thank you - Rebecca Wyatt...Which is why I strongly recommend trialing some of
the treeless saddles! They ship them to you and you ship it back to them, so all
you need is a post office nearby :-)
A treeless would probably work well for your horse
since it doesn't sound like he has high withers (although even
high-withered horses can wear treeless saddles if padded correctly). Many
times, high withers are a result of muscle atrophy from the bars of the saddle
squeezing on the shoulders.
Are you looking for a saddle that you'll keep for a
long time, or something to get you by until you can invest in something nicer?
What's your budget? Where are you located?
There's also a Yahoo group called treeless
saddles:
Sometimes you can find someone who lives nearby that
will let you come and try their saddle out. The people are very helpful at the
group.
It's also pretty easy to find a used Barefoot saddle
for less than $500 - check out eBay and post to the Yahoo group above. I rarely
(if ever) see used Sensations for sale, though. Rebecca
