Hi Jennifer, how much underweight is Trilla? Is she strictly on hay and SF or does she have access to pasture? Has she been dewormed? Teeth okay? If she's underweight maybe ask some questions about why she is. Icelandics are typically easy keepers so if there is a weight issue...it might indicate that attention is required elsewhere. As for a saddle...well..that's the $64,000 question as you'll soon discover. I have a junior sized western saddle here and it doesn't fit my rather big boys at all. (I'll see if I can dig up a photo)...I do have a western sensation though (treeless) and I quite like it though it was purchased for my husband. But at least it doesn't have as firm a flap as the regular western saddles have...and that can tend to dig into their loins. (I can't find any pics of the western saddle at the moment. They're on my external drive and apparently it's not connecting for some reason..) Wanda
