Location: NC | How well do they fit?
Looking at one with full bars. I need something with a decent flare in the front. Stumbled upon a used 16 inch with full bars. Just want to make sure I have a good chance at it fitting before I make the investment.
Thanks in advance |

Location: Up and over to the right | Love mine! My horse has muscle atrophy on his shoulder so I just shim up his one side and he's good to go! Make sure you get a pad that works with your horse too, don't go too thick. |

| I had the regular tree and it was great in the shoulders. However my guys back was too flat for the bars and it pinched him terribly right under my leg.
For reference a Pozzi standard tree fits this horse like a glove. |

Location: North Dakota | I looked at getting one custom made last year. They sent me both trees to try on my horse, and the both bridged in the middle. Didn't work for my guy. |

Where are the stamps located?
On the girth keeper tab on the left side.
This one is GS3. 16. R. I looked at some other photos and if they had full bars they had an F instead of an R. |

| I might be the odd ball out, but I hated my triple creek. The fit wasn't so bad as much as the saddle was poorly built! The saddle was held together with only two screws. The rest of the saddle was only held by long staples. That is not safe to me. |

| I bought a Triple Creek a week or so ago. I really liked it, the leather was super soft, but I am pretty sure it's not going to fit the horse I bought it for. My mare is at the trainer right now, so I put it on another mare that has a similar build and it felt too tight. Plus, when I hopped on her for a few minutes in the round pen just to see how it rode, I felt like I was perched up high off my horse. Was not crazy about that. So, more than likely, I'm back to saddle shopping.... |
