I was looking at a site on the internet at Wintecs. The have seveal models, and one was a Wintec Wide. It looks just like the 500, only it's made to fit wider horses. Would you think Harley would need that, or how do I measure him??

I think the one you pictured is identical to mine. Price seems right. I don't know how to measure whether Harley should have the 'wide' model. He may be wide, but English saddles are often designed for big hurky warmbloods that are even wider. That one ~should~, if it's the same as mine, have the exchangeable front gullet so you can get the correct width at the wither. With an English saddle, that's 90% of the fit.

Can you take him in and try each of them? Is there anyone at Petsmart who's knowledgeable? - Or are you dealing with min wage teenagers who don't know a saddle from a dog bed there?

Hello, your back earlier then I expeceted. I figured I woudn't hear from you till tomorrow.

You can't try them at Pet Smart, and I have never talked to anyone there, so I'm not sure how knowledgeable they would be.

This saddle does have the adjustable gullet. I just wondered about him, because of the trouble I'm having with my saddle. I'm wondering if he has a funny wither, and how much that could effect the fit of an English.

How's Bay? How did the ride go? Andy cinch rubs?
