I HAVE RODE IN THE TAMMY FISCHER 15.5" AND FOUND THE FIT TO BE GREAT. HOWEVER I AM LOOKING INTO CUSTOM ORDERING A BOB MARSHALL AS THEY ARE WAY MORE CUSTOMIZABLE FOR A BETTER PRICE.
I AM JUST CURIOUS IF I SHOULD BE ORDERING A 15.5" BM? NO ONE IN MY AREA HAS ONE TO TRY OUT.
I CURRENTLY HAVE 2 TREED BARREL SADDLES A CUSTOM FIT 14.5" FOR MY SEMI-RETIRED GELDING AND A 14.5" MARTHA JOSEY THAT I AM BORROWING FOR MY CURRENT BARREL HORSE UNTIL I CAN GET A NEW SADDLE FOR HIM.
DO THE CIRCLE Y TREELESS AND BM TREELESS SEAT SIZES COMPARE TO EACH OTHER OR ARE THEY TOTALLY DIFFERENT??
I had a 15.5 BM, and now have a 14.5 Tammy. I had lost weight and just wanted a more snug fit. They isn't a huge difference in size though. If you like the fit of your Tammy I certainly wouldn't go larger in the Bob. I would try to find a friend of a friend to sit in their saddle just to be sure, since you're ordering new!
Thanks for all your input!
I found a used BM in a 16". 1/2" bigger than what I was looking for.
They are hard to find in my area so since it is in mint condition for a good price I bought it. and then I will be able to see how I like that size. If its too big that's OK I can sell it or use it until I find one smaller.
