Location: Northern Ontario | Ok so here is the fit on the billy cook. It seems to fit. One issue I have is that there is a bit of daylight at the back but the bars underneath feel like they are touching her back evenly to the end. What do you guys think? Yay or Nay?

Location: Northern Ontario | also, does anyone know the difference between the CJ, BW and pro racer trees? this one is built on a CJ, but they tend to be pretty plain |

Location: lone star state | Slide ur hand underneath. Is there equal pressure all the way from front to back of saddle? Sherry Cervi has a great youtube video discussing saddle fit and demonstrating. |

Location: Northern Ontario | I read meleta browns saddle fitting articles and it said to do that too. I did it and it kinda felt even but its really hard to tell.... my hand gets tangled in her long winter coat |

| Most of the billy cooks from Oklahoma are plain looking.
I would try a 2030 a Lynn Mackenzie tree, as the bars have a little more flare, the buster welsh in the billy cook I find fit a more narrow horse |

Location: Northern Ontario | I don't care if is green leopard print at this point, as long as it fits. I have a double J LM, is the billy cook the same? My LM special doesn't fit at all! not even close. not the the gullet or bars. |

| I have never rode in a double j Lynn Mackenzie, but I doubt they are the same, as she would not be able to take the tree with her when she jumped ship.
I do know they are a fairly short saddle lengthwise. I have an old cj billy cook, and a 2030, my 2030 fits more horses better then the cj.

Location: Centerburg, OH | looks a hair wide to me. but you can easily shim it. I'd prefer wide to tight. the BW tree is the modified Buster Welch tree. They are totally different.

Location: Northern Ontario | Also wanted to mention my filly is going on 3 in june, so even if its a touch wide now, if every thing else fits it should be ok since she will get alot wider right? |

| I have three new Billy Cooks. A CJ, a BW and a wide gullet CJ. The trees fit very much the same and fit almost everything that I put them on. I only have the wide one for a horse that is as big as a clydesdale. |

Location: Gainesville, TX | I'm not the best at judging saddle fit without the horse directly in front of me, but I do love my Billy Cook. It fits my gelding great. |
