Location: midwest mama	I have a friend who has ridden in a "Bear Trap" saddle for many years. Unfortunately the horse she is running now is too wide in the shoulders for her old Bear Trap saddle so she is looking for something new. Any suggestions on what other type of saddle would be comparable? Or are there any wider good quality bear traps out there nowadays? She likes higher swells and a higher cantle, and needs the back of the seat to let her sit WAY down (like in a bucket.) She is an older woman and has a hard time "sitting on her pockets" naturally, and to top it off her horse drops pretty hard in the turns so she needs something to keep her secure. What are you alls thoughts? Edited by OldSchoolCowgirl 2014-09-02 2:30 AM
