Hi Julie, my Fjord isnt home yet and way to young to ever need a saddle now but I use Bob Marshall treeless saddles on all of my horses. They fit everything from the tall thin framed long backed Tn Walker to my fat stocky round foundation Quarter Horse. They come in various designs as well. With skirt, without...etc. Check them out. I love them. I especially love that I can feel the horse breathe and move under me. My QH had an issue with crowhopping - in a regular saddle I had no idea when he was about to explode. But in the treeless, I felt his back arch slightly and his back muscles tighten... it gave me that brief warning where I was able to change directions of his feet and get his mind off of the crowhop. He doesnt crowhop any more and I attribute it to the retraining I gave him with Natural Horsemanship and to my treeless saddle. :) ________________________________ From: julie haimowitz <iamlogans...@gmail.com> To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Sent: Friday, January 13, 2012 12:57 AM Subject: Saddles This message is from: julie haimowitz <iamlogans...@gmail.com> Hi everyone, wondering what saddles you are finding fit your Fjords best. I have an old western trail saddle that has seen better days for sure and am hoping to find something to fit my wide and short backed girl and be comfortable for me as well!! I mostly rode her around the property bareback which I love but am ready to hit the trails and think it probably safest to use a saddle!
