Extreme Veteran Posts: 368 Location: Ellensburg, Washington	I got a brand new one (FQH) in June and it doesn't fit my horse big shouldered horse right. I have an older (probably pre-2010) that I LOVE and fits both my big guy and my narrow horse!! I am wondering if they would sell my FQH for me or trade for a Reg QH saddle. It is a 15in with 4 in cantle.

I ordered one today and I kept worrying if the fit would be too big and he said I could send it back in to be adjusted. I also know a lady who ordered the QH fit and sent hers back in for a custom fit for a specific horse.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 461 Location: Illinois	Thank you for all this info! I can't decide what size I need. The saddle I ride my big mare in now is a 7 in gullet and it seems to fit her a little snug because she is getting dry spots behind her shoulders. I am hoping this saddle will remedy this problem. I am thinking the FQH bars are my best choice.

Buttered Noodles Snacker Posts: 4377 Location: NC	Nevertooold - 2014-10-22 7:06 PM There are different grades of Herman Oak and Craig and Wickett. I personally like the Craig and Wickett leather. I thought I read in another post that the C&W leather was stiffer??

My understand is they use the W&C for the chestnut leather as the color is more consistent and maybe something with the tooling? I think the other colors they use HO

Extreme Veteran Posts: 338 Location: NE TX	I use a Todd Sloane (sp), too lazy to look it up lol. I LOVE it and so does my mare, but like any of them that have the cut out over the withers make sure you pull up that front off the withers to keep it from pushing on the withers. Other than that, great pad IMHO. Edited by Flamin10 2014-10-23 4:48 PM

I personally like the Craig and Wickett leather. I thought I read in another post that the C&W leather was stiffer?? The Herman Oak is suppose to carve better and the Craig and Wickett doesn't stretch like the Herman Oak does. Like I said...there are different grades and qualities in both.
