Elite Veteran Posts: 953	Been having one heck of a time fitting my mare for a saddle. I've had a Sharron Camarillo sold it, went to a cervi 7 AND 8 gullet (shimmed from Brian at martin), now I just bought a Cecil phillips. I've used NEW CSI pad, best ever, AND now use a 5 star. Every saddle gives her these lumps when I remove the saddle. WHAT'S not fitting? I'm going CRAZY!

Neat Freak Posts: 11216 Location: Wonderful Wyoming	When I couldn't get a saddle to fit, I finally had Meleta Brown check my horses out. I was so lucky that she stays part of the yr in WY and I was able to meet her in person and try out her saddle. It fit great. Hers are a different kind all together. Hard to find one better made and I think they are very comfy.

Thick and Wavy Posts: 6102 Location: Nebraska	your mare has a similar back as Tess, I think. You're welcome to try my Lynn Mckenzie on her. Saddle fitting is a nightmare. ETA I second talking to Meleta. She's awesome. Edited by brlracerchick 2015-04-23 12:14 AM

I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	I also say talk to Meleeta. Google Meleeta brown freedom barrel raving saddles and her info should come up.

Elite Veteran Posts: 964 Location: Alberta, Canada	I have a meleta and it is a fantastic saddle!!! I also have a lynn nueva tree and it fits whatever the meleta doesn't. I'm betting you need a bit of rock -- something that none of the saddles you have mentioned have. Both the meleta and the lynns have some rock to them.

Red Bull Agressive Posts: 5981 Location: North Dakota	Meleta is very nice and helpful! I think I emailed her 4000 times and ended up with one of her new trees. I haven't gotten to ride it yet because my horse is messed up.
