Hello Jen.
The no withers thing might not go away with conditioning. My Fjord Gelding
is just mutton withers (as in doesn't really have any). That being said, I
ride him in a Barefoot Treeless saddle. We both love the thing. Very
comfortable, solidly built, not to horribly expensive, all useful qualities.
While I don't use sturrips, the saddle does have easily accessable places
to hang them. Like all other treeless saddles, your probably going to have
to consider dropping a big invenstment in a pretty high end pad to
distribute weight from posting (I don't post, either).
But, my two cents, and the saddle I use.
Regards,
Shawna (Human) and SF Atom (Fjord)

Hi, my name is Jen, and I am an addict.
More acurately: I am OBSESSED with my new Fjord mare. I am madly
inlove with her and have many questions for you seasoned Fjord owners.
1). I am riding her in a bareback pad called the Little Joe pad which
has the ability to attatch english stirrups and leather. I post the
trot and am worried that a bareback pad may not give her enough relief
from the pressure the posting creates. Can anyone tell me what kind of
saddle or treeless saddle they use on their Fjords? Mine is quite the
Chunky Monkey right now--no withers at all! I prefer to ride in
treeless saddles...
