| Hello all! Hard to fit horse, have tried nearly every treed and flex tree around including custom fittings from Deb Sibley, Martin, Cactus, Crate, every pad and combination possible. He loves a treeless, but I am not a Bob marshall or tammy fisher fan. We've been limping by with a 9.5 crown C and CSI pad, but he's still cranky.
I'm looking for a saddle that looks like a traditional western, adjustable stirrups, spinal clearance, and a wider-than-usual pommel. The Startrekk treeless looks pretty interesting, anyone have any experience with one?
Their flex-fix vario (how cool is an adjustable width? http://www.saddlingsolutions.com/dp_saddles/dp-flex-fit-vario-weste...) looks pretty cool too, but I'm concerned it has enough flare in front.
Thank you! If this doesn't work, free big, slightly grumpy paint horse =p

Location: North Dakota | Maybe I'm wrong but isn't DP Saddlery different than Startrekk? I've looked into alternative treeless saddles as well. The one in your link I don't care for because it apparently has a flex tree of sorts and the adjustable width only adjusts one aspect of the saddle. It can't truly adjust to any horse.
Have you looked into a JBN? Some people love them, some hate them, but they do ride like a treed saddle.
If you have the money, free form has some of the nicest looking treeless western saddles I've seen but I have no personal experience. http://store.treelesssaddle.com/Freeform_Western_Virginian_Barrel_Treeless_Saddle_p/ff-western--virginian.htm | |
