Its true, depending on what kind of riding you intend to do. And important to
fit the rider and a must to fit the horse.
I too have had fjords with different backs, short versus long, wide through
the ribs, extra wide through the ribs,

I have two Duett saddles, a dressage and an all purpose, and am quite
happy with them, after buying three other saddles that appeared to fit
but were so uncomfortable for my burly fjord mare she would hop when
trotting. I use

I'd used extra wide and still had issues of the saddle moving side to side and
pommel too high. I finally had a fitter come by, she was on her way to a
symposium in Austin and was within an hour of me on her way. Both of mine are
extra extra

Hi
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I ride in a Crates and a Broken Horn. Both fit ideally. Both are built to
fit my QH's too. English saddles I have not looked into too much, but I know a
regular English saddle does not fit my Fjord.

Hi Do any of you know of a saddle/maker/rep/seller who
would be willing to demo saddle fitting for a meeting in mid
Washington State?
Do any of you have favorite brands of saddles which fit
your Fjords?

Hi re: saddle fit, We have tried many saddles on our boys BHF Bjorn BHF Olav,
we finally found a used Albion SL, med/wide 18in. dressage, that actually fits
them both, - which was a true feat considering that Olav has a wide table back
Bjorn a narrower

Hi Everyone :
Concerning saddles that fit fjords, I have been very happy with a wide-tree
Australian saddle that I bought on Ebay several years ago. Best thing is that
they are inexpensive. I have seen these on Ebay with extra-wide trees too. I
have two

Here's what I learned when searching for an endurance style western saddle:
The arab tree is about the same width gullet as the full quarter horse
bars. The difference is that the length of the tree is shorter. The
endurance pommel is a little wider at

Brigid the treeless I saw was an English one with no pommel or cantle, just
flat and it looked about two inches thick. The trainer was small and easily
threw it over the different backs. She loved it.

Thanks Curt for the info on various saddles. I have seen the Ansur's web
site. Interesting how the Orthoflex was one of the first different saddles
to consider the horse's comfort, yet it is still stuck in tree mode.
I really prefer riding bareback, but
for short periods of
time.
This is the experience that we have had fitting saddles for Fjords. I
would be interested in other experiences and comments. I am always
looking for a better saddle.

I love my OF Stitchdown.
No, the Ortho-Flex aren't perfect but I have tried a LOT of saddles with my
Fjords..Bjorken isn't all that wide, but has big shoulder, Bjarne, 24, has
a good deal of sway in his back, but those shoulders again..I shim up one
of my older OF western saddles for him

Did you mean 31 cm tree?
Generally, most Fjords need a 31 tree.
