Location: Alabama | For those of you with the Pozzi that fits, are you using a wide or a #10 tree? Is it the same? I found a Pozzi with a #10 near me I am going to try soon hopefully. I'm attaching a picture of my beast.

I have both. The #10 has significantly more rock in the bars, and I've had 1 horse that it truely fits. Naturally I sold her so now it's sitting in the barn looking pretty and getting no use  |

A #10 Pozzi is for horses that need more of a rock to the tree, like if you have a horse with more of a dip to its back, I have the #10 also and fits my big boy that does have a dip to his back, the wide fits him nice too, but I like the #10 on him better, the sorrel has a more flatter/strighter/thicker back so I like the wide on him better. |

I second the Len Brown Never Tight girth. Best money I ever spent on a piece of equipment.
I bought one of these cinches and wasn't super impressed with it. Maybe it was my saddle or I'm doing something wrong... do you make runs in it? |

They're all I use. I run in them, condition, trail ride etc etc. Do you have a Near Tight or a Never Tight? I've had a Near and I wouldn't buy another. |

Yes, I do make runs in it. I had to get close on the fit of the saddle. Even after the better fitting saddle, it rolled. I bought this girth and it was the perfect thing for my mare. She moves so much better and I can tell she can breathe better. Instant improvement in our times. Same as above, tho. It's a Never Tight. |

Thanks! I have since changed the saddle/pad combo I'm running in so I'll have to re-try it. It's the Never Tight. I also found my horse got very hot under it last summer. |

Location: Texas | rpreast - 2017-04-11 5:12 PM Not the best pictures, but she's very flat backed with not a whole lot of withers.
My mare is so similarly built to yours and I'm struggling with saddle fit too. I sold my Lazy L by Coats becuase it was too narrow for her. I currently have a treeless that I am not liking at all. I'm going to go back to a treed saddle. Looks like the Double J Pozzi might be what I need to look at. |

I tired treeless before and will go that route again if I have too. Since I plan to keep this horse from now on, I really want to find a good fit for she and I instead of just making do. Let me know if the Pozzi works for you! I am hoping to try the #10 tree this week. He is another pic of my girl, though not as recent.

I have a #10 tree. I have a DTF with very high withers and is more of a TB build. It fits him great. I really do love it. |

Here is my mare. Not a great picture but you can see how she doesn't have much wither and is very muscular through her loin and thick-backed. I just don't love the treeless and it's working right now but I struggle with it staying tight on her and I feel rocked forward and my toes down. I do okay in a run in it, but I miss my treed saddle a lot. I looked at Double J's demo program and may have to go that way. I'm also looking at a custom Martin too, but have never ridden one. It's hard because I don't have a bunch of places to try different saddles. Definitely been a process. Thanks for your input.

Location: Idahome | I love my wide Pozzi. My mare is wider in her lower back that in by her wither though, so I have found that adding a shim really helped in my fit. It did fit ok before the shim, but that little extra has made a huge difference for us. I also have a 4 yo that has little wither and wide all the way back and it fits him great with a 1/2" pad. |
