| I have two MP Freedom Fits- love these saddles!! They fit my horses great and give me that nice, secure close contact feel. :) |

| I am not sure what the DM stands for. I had my horses fitted at Circle Y for the Molly Powell, but having a hard time finding any available. Wasn't sure if folks were buying and keeping them, or if they do not make many ... Hopefully, we will get some more input ... :) |

I'm inquiring of one right now, but it is about 600 miles from me...close to Denver, maybe it would be closer to you. |

| I love mine. It's great quality, fits my horse, and is comfortable- it keeps me positioned well. |

Location: TN | The DM stands for Dale Martin the man who created Martin Saddlery and then sold it to equibrand. He later went on to work for Reinsman when they created Molly's saddle. Now he has a small tack business out of his home in Texas. |

If I usually ride in a 14.5-14.75 what size would I need in this saddle? |

I don't think I agree with this, I can get by with a 14" but mostly ride a 13 1/2" in about everything. I have a 13 1/2" MP and a 13," both give me plenty of room. I'm a pretty average sized girl too- |

I had ridden a 14" my entire life and when I got my MP Reinsman I went down to a 13.5 n it rode like a glove. I loved to ride in that saddle. It was like cruising around in a Cadillac. But I found that they ran wide n I had to use a corrector pad with shims because it was wide on all my horses. I ended up selling it to get a Martin crown C n I was able to go back to my tod slone wool pad n sell the correcTor. The folks I know that have a reinsman n don't have saddle fit issues have very big, wide horses. |

Location: Heart of Texas | I have a MP Xtreme and I love it. I didn't go down in size at all either. Super comfortable and I really like how it's made. Holds me really well. I can move in it if I need to get up but if I have to ride two handed around the barrel I don't go anywhere either. Definitely recommend one! I wish they made one with a round skirt |
