Need help with tack....

[reneigh]

So I'm looking for a cheap all purpose saddle to use on my mare, and I normally use a 16 1/2" seat, regular tree. Well I found a couple good-looking saddles on this site www.tackwholesale.com, but they only have the sizes Narrow, Medium, and Wide... just wondering, do you think Medium could also just be a word for regular??

Im sure it is. but dont look for a CHEAP saddle, look for a reasonably priced one. ones that are cheap may rub your horse bad, and your horse may have issues with it. you should look into a place were you can test- them out. to know a saddle fits your horse, when you work them, and they sweat, if there are no dry spots on their back, that means they fit them right. if there are dry circles and spots, espcially up near their shoulders, and backbone, then the saddle doesnt fit them properly, and it could lead to needing a chiropractor come out cause your horse is out of wack from the saddle fitting wrong.

sstack.com I think they have some NICE saddles, at decent prices.

Ok so I was thinking about this saddle (http://www.sstack.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=9254&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=3&iSubCat=397&iProductID=9254)....
the only thing I'm worried about is if it will fit her or not. It doesn't say the tree size. I really just need a good all purpose saddle for under $200 that isn't SO cheap it's going to fall apart on me

I really want a wintec since it can have the gullet change system, but it's going to cost over $400 and we just don't have that right now. But I'm desperate for a saddle since mine is a close contact and it doesn't fit my mare AT ALL
