[RC] Saddle trees that might fit? - Sharon LevasseurHi all, I'm toying with the idea of a new saddle and need some ideas of what trees might fit Zephyr. Can't spend more than $1000 and of course I hope to spend less! I'd be open to either new or gently-used. Zephyr is an Arab/RMH who is around 14.3h and anywhere between 800-950# depending on the time of year and his level of conditioning... 850# is probably his ideal weight. Like many Arab crosses, he is short-backed. The main fitting issue is that he has very wide shoulders but his ribs slant DOWN away from his spine, not out and down... that is, he has a prominent spine... so he cannot have a saddle that is for round-barreled horses. I'm looking for a tree that has flared bars in the front and hopefully in the back, that is short from front to back, and that is very wide in front but narrower at the back. I would prefer a western endurance style and I need a 15" Western-measured or 17" English-measured seat. What are the brands of saddles with trees that might fit?
