Born not Made Posts: 2931 Location: North Dakota	I've got two thick beefy QH's and I am loving the Lisa Lockhart Circle Y Flex2 in the WIDE on them. Although I am concerned that my coming 5-year-old is going to outgrow it..... Time will tell!

Red Bull Agressive Posts: 5981 Location: North Dakota	I have the Meleta Brown #2 tree which is pretty wide and flares for BIG shoulders. The only other saddle I've found to work is Martin. My meleta is actually for sale since it doesn't fit me, but it really is probably the most versatile, well designed saddles I've met.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1035 Location: TN	MS2011 - 2016-02-18 10:57 PM Try a Purdy.... Tree is designed differently and the fit is amazing. Don't do the big gullet thing. I talked to 2 girls this month that got out of their custom fitted martins with oversized gullets to go to a Purdy. I had never heard of these but they look pretty awesome! I like how everyone says their horses are more freed up and comfortable in them. People must like them or there must not be that many out there because I can't find any used ones for sale.

You can't find used ones - I looked for a long time and stumbled across one almost by accident. He does occasionaly have demo saddles so I'd contact Vernon on the FB page. I've riden lots of different brands, some I liked better than others but this is the top of my list.

I'm not really in the saddle market right now, but if I get a prospect like I'm hoping to do soon I will need another saddle. How does it feel for the rider?
