This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Karen,
I have been keeping track of all the Ortho-Flex saddles on eBay, recently sold a "OF Stitchdown there for a friend. I saw this one..It is gorgeous! A Caliente, it seems to have a much higher cantle than the usual Caliente models. Now, a caution to Fjord folks,...Not all Ortho-Flex saddles fit the wider Fjords! My big gelding seems to have gotten too wide (fat) for my Brazos which I believe has a similar tree to this one. Do you know that it fit the wider Fjords? Sometimes It depends on how wide the panels are set, rather than the actual tree, or she may have requested a wider tree for this one. At any rate this is truly a gorgeous saddle..It will be interesting to see how high the bids go. I was astounded to see another "Stitchdown" go for over $3000!...I should not have let the one I sold go for a much lower "Buy-it-now" price..Oh well, a "Bird in the hand..etc." Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, partly cloudy with LOTS of nasty gnats! >This saddle is being listed by a very good friend of mine who also has >helped me ride/train/show my fjords, and she has used it exclusively with >them...it is a really cool OrthoFlex saddle, custom made for her, and she >has taken super great care of it.
