Location: SW MO | I have a gelding who is narrow in the chest and shoulders but has a prett flat wide back. He's hip high so I need something to help me not feel like I'm going to pitch over the front. I had a tree sent from coats but I feel like once the saddle was built it sat too down hill on the horse. How do th Jeff smith saddles fit? |

| I have a Jeff Smith cutter, I love it.
My horses are all pretty thick and stout, but I did set it on my two year old whos pretty narrow chested and it sits on him pretty good. I feel its a very well made balanced saddle, sits a horse really nice. |

Location: NE Texas | I'm on my phone and it's hard for me to post in here from it. I do love my JS saddle. It is a cutting saddle I had cut down to look like a barrel saddle. I was having the same problem on my hip high horse and yes, it definitely will keep you more set back. If you want to pm me your number I can send pics via text and give more information about how I think it would fit. I had 3 of these, have sold ine, and have considered selling one more and having another one built. Now that my gelding is healthy, he has gotten very wide through the back and I would get him one custom made in a bit wider tree, but he's a monster now as far as size and bloom. These saddles fit all my younger, narrower made horses just fine. |
