[RC] Semi-QH bars-Arab tree - shermanTitle: MessageMaybe that's what's
written somewhere, but that's not what's practiced at the saddle making
companies, at least in my experience. The Arab tree has an incredibly wide
gullet, so that it fell down the sides of the wither, tilting the back of the
saddle way up. The wide (full) QH tree (which I use on Sonny) has a wider gullet
than the semi-quarter tree, and it sits correctly on his mutton withers. The
semi-quarter tree with it's narrower gullet sits too high on his wither and
although it looks like it sits level, it does leave pressure points on his
withers. Never made him sore though. So the angle of the saddle is affected, but
it's the width of the gullet and tree that change things.

When I read up on saddles awhile back I thought I remembered
