Adjustable tree saddles actually only fit a narrow range of horses because
what changes is the angle of the forks not the width of the gullet.
Changeing the angle therefore changes the rocker making them tend to rock on
wide horses and bridge on narrow horses. They can be helpful on fitting the
medium horse precisely.
I've seen more horses choke in their stalls than on the trailer. Does that
mean we shouldn't feed them there either? And lastly if you want to save
horses from going to slaughter, train them and train them very well. It's
the horse that bucked off someones kid and kicked them in the face that gets
shipped- not the angel babysitter no matter how old it is. Libby
