What brand is the firse saddle in the video. Thank you

[superkidoftoday]

@ThatSoJamie same here, i mean online saddles are usually where they're cheaper and still good quality so i have the same question.

@superkidoftoday

Not really, on Craigslist you will find MANY people who wants to sell their saddles, so they sell them for cheap. Also they let you go and see the saddle! give it a try!

ive tried loads of saddle on my welsh d n all seem to b to tight once girthed up! is there many saddle with a biger gullet than 8 inches? whats this horse riding in? he seems just a tad rounder than my boy?

[TheBeautyonHorseback]

@nuttyally Go to the manufacturer's website (for the brand(s) you are looking into) there should be a number you can call for more information. Your best bet is buying new, older saddles definatley won't come in a gullet that wide. A draft horse saddle might be a good solution as well they come in all sorts of "crazy" sizes, or going treeless which is a good alternative if you aren't showing for a wide horse any saddle even well fitting one can be uncomfortable.

Hope it helps,

Tippy

@nuttyally Try a treeless saddle if you can't find anything (Bob Marshall Saddle). If you don't believe in treeless saddles, get a custom made. Both of these are very expensive mind you.
