This message is from: "jen frame" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Nancy, I ride my Fjord in a Treeless saddle called Freeform classic. I LOVE it and so does my Fjord. I recently bought a bit that I love, and so do all my horses: it is a western shanked bit calledhe EZ Rider by American Bridle Bit. You can find them at www.onehander.com It has an adjustable width mouthpiece so you can make it wide enough to fit your 5 1/4" Fjord, or more narrow to fit other horses. It is an amazing bit. And you can try it for 30 days and return it if you don't like it. That is what sold me on it, cuz it is an expensive bit. After 1 ride in it I knew I wanted to keep it. My horses love it so much that I had to let my hubby use the bit when we trail ride together, but I missed the bit on my horse, so I bought a 2nd one! If you order one, tell Jerry that Jen Frame sent you. He knows I love the bit because I tell him that by e-mail at least once a week! Let us know what you decide on treeless and bits. In my not so humble opinion, those saddles on the Draft Horse classified web page are a little suspect. When buying ateeless it is very important to get one that distributes the rider's weight evenly across your horses's back. I did a ton of research before I went treeless, and I felt that only 2 brands out there did this well: the Freeform and the Sensation . I am beyond thrilled with my Freeform, and ended up buying a second one so my husband could ride Treeless too. Now I just camn't put a tree'd saddle on my horses--feels almost cruel. It may not be cruel with a properly fitting tree'd saddle and a good pad, but it feels wrong to me now. If you go Treeless you MUST buy a saddle pad made to go with the treeess saddle. They are expensive, but worth it. Jen
