Well, the wonderful new saddle is too narrow for my boy. It's for sale for $1000. If I have to ship it I'll add shipping and packaging costs. 16 inch. Circle Y calls it a regular tree, which seems to be rather narrow. Less than 20 rides on it, I'm pretty sure. The lady I bought it from said she rode it less than 10 times, and I know I haven't ridden it even that, and they were very short rides. I think it's very comfortable and very secure. A great saddle. If it fit any of my horses I wouldn't be parting with it. Here's one pic, and I'll get more soon. I'll also get some gullet measurements.

oo that is nice. Now what does the gullet measure, and the swell...what's the model/ID number?

Tell me how to measure the swell and I'll get both measurements and the number for you after I feed.
Modified: Do you mean swell height, like from the level of the conchos up to the bottom of the fork? I'll get that, and if that's not what you meant let me know.

It looks like the angle of the tree is narrower than a full qhb. It's dang nice though, just looks too narrow for my fat horse, but truly too hard to say in a pic. You should be able to get more info on it with the circle y id number though.

Darn, sorry! I forgot to get you that number. Here it is: 1571-8601-04, and underneath that is 200722857.
What kind of "more info" do you get with the number, and from where?

The numbers just let you verify the seat, tree, color etc, yeah it was made, this one's definitely a regular flex tree, which maybe in non flex world equates to a semi? It's definitely a gorgeous saddle.

I can't go on the ride, it's the same weekend as Mustang Days. I'll be making a trip over to Bellevue sometime around the 4th of July though. Maybe we could meet up then. I don't know the details of the trip yet, it all depends on when the hay is cut and whether I can afford to take the truck over. I couldn't fit the saddle in the car with all the kids and our stuff. We can keep in touch up until then. Could be you'll find a saddle you like, or this one might sell.

Andrea, I'll be going to the ride, if you plan on being in Spokane any time before then. I could meet up with DeAnne at the ride and she can test it. Of course, it's totally up to you and what you feel comfortable with.

That's a really good idea. One little snag... My husband rode his horse in it today and I think we may keep it. I'm going to wait and have them use it again before I make up my mind for sure. But yeah, if it's still for sale I'll find a way to get it up there before the ride.

My mare is 15.1 1150lbs, and a a bit of a fatto...i'm not really sure it'd fit her right anyhow. It's just so dang purty lol.
