This message is from: "fjords" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Start with a Tucker Wide Tree saddle. I have two of them and they fit all of the Fjords my friends and I have ever tried them on. PLUS they are comfortable for the rider, too. I have two models - a Cheyenne Frontier and a High Plains.

I've heard about 3/4 bar, 7/8 bar, Full Bar quarter horse saddles, don't know what that means, then Tree Size, as English Saddles, like 36cm, 38cm etc, where does that come into play on Western Saddles? Just fishing for information and knowledge before I go ahead and get a Western Saddle. The reason I would prefer a western saddle is it seems for trail rides the English style doesn't do to well, especially when going down steep grades, feels like your going to fall off the front. I have a couple Deutz Trail style English type saddles, not sure of the model, other than trail. Anyhow, they are hardly used, 1 may have been put on a horse 1 time, the other one maybe 10 times. Wondering if anybody would be interrested in purchasing one, they are 38cm tree's. I think they were around $900 new just a couple years ago.
