Help! Need a new saddle asap! I currently have a Sherry Cervi Criwn C that I love but it no longer fits my mare as her back has changed. I had a saddle fitter look at her and measure her. My 8" gullet is fine but I need wider bars. They need more flare under the swells than what I have now. I have sat a Lisa Lockhart on her and those don't fit either. Heard good things about Tami Semas but have never seen one. Any help with this would be great! Thank you!

Same situation with my colt. Last growth spurt he got pretty wide in the withers and flat back. I bought a circle Y wide tree and it fits him well but the seat is pretty high and I am selling it. Brand new a month ago. A Caldwell really fits him and ME good!! Was just going to list an add on this site.

The Tami Semas are built a lot like the Pozzi. I talked to Jeff Smith awhile back about the Semas wide measurements. They are 7in gullet with 43degree bar angle. Pozzi wide's are 6 3/4in gullet with 43degree bar angles. Hope this helps!

Pozzi x wide is 7" Gullet and 35* bar angle... flatter bars for a wider flat backed horse. I have one... A lot wider than the Pozzi wide.

You have this backwards...Tamis have a 6.5" and a 6.75" with low bar angle.....pozzis are 6.5" 45* bar angle and 7" with 43* bar angle. A double j pro is in between the pozzi with a 6.75" and 45* bar angle.

I just ordered a Lynn McKenzie wide fit nueva, so I can't say if it's the best, but I really like my LM Nueva and the bars seemed to fit quite well with a bit of room.
