Here's the Watson on Yrsa.
It looks like the bars sit past her last rib; do you
recall if it did?
I just posted this info on the treelesssaddle list:
An Officer's Notes by Captain R.M. Parker (U.S.
Cavalry), published in 1917:

Thanks for the picture. Do you know what size that saddle was? Boy those are
nice looking saddles. Sylvia

Here's the Watson on Yrsa. Please forgive the table linens. It was
someone else's brand new saddle and I didn't want to put it directly on her
back, but I wanted to see it without a thick pad. It was a very nice fit,
but she was three years old when this was taken. As everyone promised, she

straight leg panels, very uncomfortable for me. My back hurt because
Hi NancyYrsa is such a pretty girl! Do keep in mind that at her
age, she still has many years left to grow. Are you sure you want to
invest in a treed saddle for her? Anywho...before I get accused of
trying to tell you what to do by some list members, please believe
me...I am not. ;]

Hi..that is a very valid concern. In the long run, you need to do what
is best for you and your horse. Regardless of what others may think.
If you need the security of a treed saddle, buy one and enjoy the
Oooh, I would not recommend buying a treed saddle to fit a
three-year-old...heck, not even a five-year-old, if you expect it to last
very long!

I really don't remember and no matter how it fit her last summer, she's a
different pony today - much rounder and more substantially made.

Because I ride all year, this is not quite so much of a problem, but
lots of endurance riders take several months off when the weather is

with lots of change in the back's shape in those months

have to ride sitting straight up with my legs straight down I am miserable.
Maybe its age and the pain gets to me easy. Both the used saddles on the
tack trader are straight down legs type. I think?

Not necessarily. Hunter is eleven, gets a lot of riding, and the shape of
his back changes during any given year.
