Location: Where ever there's sunshine! | I dont have many to choose from. Most of the folks in my area are riding in saddles theyve had for years . There are quite a few ammermans, which I havent got to try yet. I have ruled out prorider, reinsman, martha josey, and black rhino (mine). I am going to try a catctus, a cactus cj, and a martin. Hopefully i will find something that will work. I'm more than likely going to have to shim him due to the drastic difference from his loin to his shoulders. I also have to take into consideration that he is just coming 4 and may fill out more in the shoulder area. i wish I was able to go sit with different saddle makers and learn from them. This saddle fitting stuff is tough! |
