Fingers crossed it work. She was also looking for a jumping/xc saddle with a non-forward flap and fell in love with my Bates Caprilli (not the new plastic looking one). I LOVE it. It's super sticky and they're all over eBay for super awesome prices and they all have an interchangeable gullet. Plus, I recently found out you can have the CAIR paneling removed and wool flocked for minimal pricing. Pretty friggin cool. I love my Bates and it's fit a ton of different horses from narrow to extra wide ^.^Madeline C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14246076712179468308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-9874184253828545522017-02-14T05:54:44.994-08:002017-02-14T05:54:44.994-08:00Ugh how frustrating!

As another option you maybe might want to try, Sully wears a Beval jump saddle and a Devocoux dressage, and he is built a lot like B, just 2 hands taller! Very wide/big barrel/flat table-shaped back. Good luck though - saddle shopping is not fun!Alli + Dinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06928482808436392040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-59911053362334841772017-02-13T19:17:03.846-08:002017-02-13T19:17:03.846-08:00Omg saddle problems are the absolute worst.

I feel for you! :(<br /><br />I'm friends with the former county rep in AB, she has some good contacts (and has a very wide 17.5 jump saddle for sale... she wanted me to try it on Mystic but I am legit broke haha). If there is a model that she should keep an eye for let me know!<br /><br />I have asked people to send me conformation photos of the horse they used the saddle on, so I don't think tracings are too weird!

I'm just hoping it can tide us over on the flat if I'm very careful. I'm going to email you if that's OK? I have some questions about the kent and masters saddles :)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-79440701473344059712017-02-13T16:57:02.170-08:002017-02-13T16:57:02.170-08:00Oh how frustrating!

At least the change of saddles helped a little bit (tho I'm always suspicious that it's just bc it fits poorly in new and interesting ways and therefore won't immediately illicit the same soreness responses... But that might be my inner cynic showing haha). <br /><br />Also, re: asking the seller to compare tracings, I think you have nothing to lose in asking. The worst she will say is no!
