I recently purchased a treeless saddle for my tubby Fjord (which will hopefully 
help a bit with the tubbiness).  Its from Nickers saddlery, the Harmony which 
is the Western version.  Similar to the Hybrid now advertised on the site.  
This is a fabulous saddle, comfortable, perfect fit, non-slip, really works 
well.  And beautifully made.  I highly recommend Nickers Saddlery.  I got the 
saddle used and Dana, the owner of the company, responded to my questions about 
the saddle, even though I was not buying it from her.

I have also recently tried the Duett saddles on my Fjord and found them to fit 
well. My mare would need a 38 cm and with her short back it was recommended 
that I do not go above a 17 inch seat so that she doesn't carry the weight too 
far back. Something to consider. 
Turns out that I am going to go the treeless route and ordered a Trekker 
endurance/dressage saddle from England. Should be here in a few weeks. With the 
amount of riding I do in the mountains and flatwork in the arena I hope it is 
the right fit for us.
The Duetts are really nice saddles! Good luck!

i want to thank whomever on the list sent me in the direction of the chubby 
pony website. she introduced me to Duett saddles, which are made for very wide 
horses. after having tried about 5 other brands, the best of which so far 
belongs to heike and she wants it back, today i rode in one of the Duett 
Companion 
II, which they call a trail saddle, but could easily be mistaken for an all 
purpose, or used for dressage.

here i'd been thinking i could ride in a 17 inch, turns out that the 19 inch 
is really what i needed. and the tree size is 36mm. i think all you people who 
have round fjords like mine know what size that is.

i am going to ride in it again tomorrow night, and have the barn owner check 
the size on oz, and then i think i have finally found what i need. and i love 
that it's a two tone design

here's the site for the dealer:
Duett Saddles: The Partnership of Horse & Rider

or: http://www.duettsaddles.com/trail.htm, if the link doesn't work

it's fun to look at the photos of Horses in Duetts, there are several fjords 
on there.

slowing down as he used to
