Re: [RC] Bob Marshall up date - Karen Sullivan----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy" <nancy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Our latest saddle adventure, well misadventure involves a Bob Marshall treeless saddle. First I need to say the Bob Marshall saddle is not defective, it is not poorly made. No, the saddle is beautiful! BUT THE SADDLE DOES NOT FIT, THE POMMEL IS TOO NARROW. Due to a NEW manufacturing process the factory is no longer able to widen the pommel ends. In plain terms, the new pommels are plastic and are not amenable to grinding to widen the ends. *Hi Nancy, I am cc-ing the treeless discussion group....yes, that is the problem I had with the sport saddles, even the older models are too narrow for my current 3 horses (Arab, Arab/QH and mustang)...I am sorry to hear that the new pommels are a bit narrower..... You might want to check out the Barefoot saddles....same feel as Sport saddle....but you are able to play more with the pommel and cantle. Other choices are Freeform, Startrekk, Trekker, TreeFree or Torsion. Freeform has a flexible pommel, Startrekk has choices of 4 different pommel widths and the other three also have the removable pommels.... There are links to all of these on the links page of the treeless group.....
