That looks like a pretty cool saddle, I would to see it on your horse so get a picture and post it for me are who ever else would like to see it. What type of tree does it have? |

| It looks great! How did you determine which tree to get? Are there a few different trees to choose from? |

| LabRat - 2017-07-23 10:26 AM It looks great! How did you determine which tree to get? Are there a few different trees to choose from? Thank you, I sent him pictures of my horse. I don't think there are a lot of trees to choose from. I saw on FB they do molds when they go to a show. It was a pretty big leap of faith that it would fit :). I just got back home from vacation and am going to try it on my long back lean one tonight, the horse I bought it for and was having a hard time fitting is short back and round-everything rolled on him-both my Caldwell's, Tami Semas, 2 different types of Martins, double J. This tree is more about the flare and not so much width of the gullet.

| I love mine! I got the fbn8 because that's what Brian fit my mare to at a show, and it really freed her up. The fbn6 is supposed to be the most versatile tree they have, but the 8 fits both of my mare, I tried to ride my gelding in it before we sold him, but took it off as soon as I put it on him because the tree was too flat for him and it bridged, so he would have needed the 6. I hope you love it! It took me a few rides and runs to get use to it, but now I absolutely love mine! |

It is on a cutting tree and sits you more in the saddle instead of on it if that makes sense. I tried a Tami Semas and 2 different Martins-all felt like I was perched on top of the horse -like sitting on a fence rail.
The roo feels like you are "hugging" your horse with your legs, it helps me say square and balanced -and I need the help :). Watch the video above where they explain their tree. |

Location: North Dakota | That's gorgeous. I'd love a saddle that feels like riding bareback, considering I've ridden bareback exclusively for the last year! |
