Hi,
I also like the saddle I got from Montana Mountain Horse. I thought the
price was very reasonable. My only complaint was that it took much longer
to finish my saddle than originally stated. Unexpected problems happen, but

I was unable to get a fit with either full quarter horse bars, or
semi-quarter horse bars. My little guy is in-between, and the western
saddles were too long. I've had good luck with an ortho-flex so far.
They will also custom

The western saddles with full quarter bars I looked at would not have not
been too wide for my mare, but they would have been way to big for her back
(length along the spine). There are western saddles made for draft horses
with even wider gullets, but I

Michele, It sounds as if we'll need to buy a full size saddle with full
quarter horse tree, for our boys and then refit it with custom(shorter)

Jane, Me too!! I am currently looking for a 13-14 inch saddle for my boys,
that will fit the Fjords. I just sold a 15 inch and am still selling a 14
