This message is from: "jen frame" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Shawna, I was riding my new Fjord in a Little Joe Saddle pad with stirrups, but yesterday I managed to get my Treeless saddle called "Freewest" by Freeform (Italian made treeless saddle that I love, with pad called "Haf Pad" made for it to give spine clearance) to work well on my mutton withered gal! I think that with a little more adjusting it will work well and I won't have to worry about putting pressure on her spine, nor will I have to buy yet another saddle! Thanks for your input, Jen
