Re: [RC] saddle issues: barrel backed horses - pat holsebeke

Hi. I ride a Endurance Tucker. It not only is very
comfortable with a gel seat but it fits my horse, a
big arab and our big Tennesee walker who  is like a
barrel.They come in wide and extra wide. I could tell
the difference in my horse the first time I used this
saddle. I too spent at least a year shopping. Good
luck.

I have a big ½ Arab ½ running quarter mare who is

a little 14.3 Arab gelding that is short backed and
wide as well.  I also
have an Arab gelding who is slightly narrow and has
a higher wither, in
which I ride him in an Orthoflex Cutback and I love
it.  The Orthoflex
however definitely does not fit the two wide backed
horses.  I don?t know
where to start with this whole saddle shopping
thing.  I remember it took me
forever to finally find the Orthoflex and I dread
the saddle shopping all
over again. I wish it fit these other two horses,
but they both have dry
spots after riding and my gelding that it fits never
has a dry spot.  My
question is can anyone suggest a saddle that is
similar to the OF Cutback
but fits a more wide backed horse?

 

I recently volunteered at the lunch stop at the
Malibu ride and thought that
I would get some great ideas on which saddle to look
into next.  Oh boy was
I wrong??  each rider that came in seemed to have a
different saddle.  I
couldn?t believe how there really didn?t seem to be
one saddle in particular
that was more commonly used.  Additionally, all the
riders had their own
stories as to why their saddle was the best!!!
