You probably know I am planning on going treeless in the summer, but I am still very worried about the lack of weight distribution (as I am near the weight limit on Happy)
The main reason for this is that her weight tends to go up and down a lot, so her saddle does not fit perfectly all the time, which I am very consious about, being so heavy on her (even if we are only hacking lightly)
Do you think that a treed saddle with an interchangable gullet would be more suitable? or are they not that great?
any thoughts would be much appreciated
These pictures probably wont be any use, but here she is with a wide tree - which is wide enough. but when she puts weight on in the summer it gets a *tiny* bit narrow
may i just add that the saddle had slipped forward in this second pic as we were jumping, and I had forgotten to tighten my girth enough
would it be more helpful if I got some pictures of the comformation of her back, and some close-ups of the current fit of her wide-treed saddle?
