Does anyone know how the seat size of these saddles run? I ride in a 14" treed saddle. Do they run about the same as a Bob Marshall? Sure wish they just didn't come in 1/2"!

Always order the half size up. I ride in a 15 in a regular tree and went up to a 15.5 in the Tammy. It is silly...just round them off and quit confusing us.

Thank you!! How do you like your Tammy? I just don't think I would like the high cantle.

Hated it at first mainly because of the free swing fenders. I always rode in a treed saddle and had every one of them hung forward. But my mare kept getting wider and thicker so the squishy tree was causing her to act foul. So I bought the Tammy, hated it for me, loved it for her, sold it and ended up buying it back. I like the deep seat but that stubby horn took some getting used to. They are just a little hard to get up out over your horse and learning to sit something new sometimes is not fun. But now I really do like it alot...finally.

I bet you would like the Jackie Jatzula better as it's much easier to get up and out of your saddle.
The fenders feel fixed next to the Bob Marshall's fenders..LOL
I have a Tammy.......and love it. However I did not like it a bit for about 3 weeks or so.......Horse has been good with it from the get go! Have not had a problem pushing out of the barrel, once it was broke in. Am thinking the Jackie would be about the same as far as breaking in
