My sad story is that my 5 yr old OF endurance cutback doesn't fit my
young, muscled, broadbacked, tall Arab mare, though it did for her first
6 months of conditioning, it didn't for the last year, and I've finally
admitted defeat. It's fit 40 other horses. <sigh>
A friend is looking for a new saddle, but she's a heavyweight, and I
don't think the SS provides enough weight distrib. for her.  OpinionS? 
I ride FW, do you mind if I ask what you ride?  In a 14, you must be FW
also.  The one I borrowed was a 14, and I needed just a teeny bit more
room in order to not contact the pommel while posting.
And which pad you're using?  Are you using the girth provided?
I think I'll be using my OF's stirrups.  Which are you using?  Were you
used to Western rigging before?  Did you order the stirrups moved back?
