Re: [RC] saddles for gaited horses/Peruvian Paso - Don Hustonhttp://catalog.outbackranchsaddles.com/viewProduct.cfm?item_id=723144My buddy Dave uses this saddle on his 2 Missouri Fox Trotters. The foam panels are easy to adjust to get a very good fit, according to him. I have never used the saddle but I did slap it on my 15hh short back arab to size it for someone else. It fit him like a glove. Don Huston At 10:38 PM 10/15/2007 Monday, you wrote: I have a friend that bought a small (13.3) Peruvian mare, 6 years old, slightly underweight, good withers, looks like a med. tree to me. She'd been ridden in the traditional Peruvian tack but my friend is looking at buying a saddle (she strictly trail-rides) that will be comfortable for both of them and not be restrictive in the shoulder area. I have let her borrow my Abetta endurance (arab tree) and an older Wintec Aussie (med. tree) to see what might by the right width. Anyone with advice on fitting to gaited horses and who might also use treeless saddles, or any other information, please e-mail me privately so as not to clog the list. The mare is used to a crupper and my friend is 4'11" tall and would like something with a narrower twist and a more western/endurance seat than an english type.
