This message is from: "Tamara Jane Habberley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I dont have a fjord , but I do have a very wide backed welsh cob. I would be cautiouse of the sports saddle if as I suspect your fjord has a wide back. Mine caused me incredible hip pains if I rode for longer than 25 miles in it to the extent of my collapsing after 1 ride. I had my stirrups set 1/2 inch back and have been told that they should be left set forward for a wide horse. It suited my horse well though, and I have a friend with a sports saddle for her arab who loves it. We are both in the Uk but she bought her sports saddle of Geri Rini who was excellent and allowed her to trial the saddle whilst on holiday in the states. I belive she allows free trials to US purchasers. I bought mine of saddle Up ( karen Chattan ) and was very disapointed with her lack of after sales assistance. I now use a free and easy for my cob. - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Friday, December 29, 2000 1:10 AM Subject: Bob Marshall treeless saddles--need info > This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Same question from me, and please do email privately!

The saddles can be purchased directly from the manufacturer, custom made, for top dollar. Or you can purchase a sort of all-purpose Western style saddle from Valley Vet catalog, with a lower price (presumably because they're mass-produced). Both have a money-back guarantee.
