Re: [RC] [RC] saddles for gaited horses/Peruvian Paso - Karen SullivanI am using the hybrid Sensation on all my horses with great results....it;s treeless, but has panels for spinal clearance, very adjustable and distributes rider weight...love it... Another friend is using her treeless Bob Marshall endurance saddle on her, no kidding, registered Hillbilly Racking horse.....he racks up a storm!

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. thanks so much in advance! heidi larson o o o o o_ \ \____ o_ \_\ (*)~(*)\_______/ / \ \______/ / \_______/\ /- o-- /_/ \ / / \ / / o o o-- / / \ o o heidi larson ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for a deal?
