I really really really want a western saddle. LOTS! But one ponio is a fat coblet and the other is a growing warmblood type. I can only afford one saddle. Looked into it and treeless looks the best bet.






So I just blew my first months wages on a Bob Marshall Treeless!:eek:


I have been out of work for 6 months so had no money. I have just done my fourth week in a new job. I just hope that once it arrives its as good as it looks in the photos!

Not ordered the pad yet. Want get the saddle and be sure I like it first. Is a used one, but barely used. Cant wait. Never going to get it at this rate though as flaming pay pal wont let me spend that much in one go!:mad:

Are you still liking it? I have heard differing opinions of the treeless Western saddles, but that's the same w/every saddle.lol.

I love it! She is used to treeless anyway as I have a trekker and goes well in this one too. I dont want to tempt fate but it will be hard to fall out of!

Any piccies? That is the sort of saddle I am thinking of. How much did you pay?

I dont have pics yet but will take some later this week. I paid £800 for it which is almost the new price, but saved the import tax and the postage. I was in 2 minds about it as thats a lot of money to me. I had planned on a Hilason but it worked out the same price as this one second hand. You wouldn't know it had been used though! Have had it about 2 weeks and ridden in it for about 15 hours so far. Cant fault it. It is much firmer than my Trekker and heavier too. On a loose girth it doesn't slip and she seems very happy in it. Will attach pics when I get them.:)
