| I put on a couple pictures of the saddle that doesn't fit my horse. It is a full quarter bar saddle. My horse isn't that big, and in my vast array of knowledge (NOT) of this subject of saddle fitting, shouldn't it fit down over him if the bars were right on this saddle?? The one picture shows the daylight all the way under the saddle. Also, when I set the saddle on the saw horse, I can rock it with my thumb from front to back. It feels like it is pivoting on just one small point on the bars. My husbands saddle doesn't do this. Pretty sure I want to take it and get my money back unless I don't know what i'm talking about! I also checked the tree and it doesn't feel broken. |
Sounds like it's got too much rock in the bars. It does look like it should fit down lower, with full qh bars. By the way all, qh bars are not a type of bar, but the amount of twist in the front of the bars, and perhaps the amount of rock also.
Full qh bars should fit a horse with a very flat back and little or no withers. IMHO.
I would guess that there was a mistake on this tree and someone sold you one or sent one that isn't full qh bars. But I could be wrong.
Good job on the photo's, but I really can't tell much without seeing and feeling of the saddle while it is on a horse. I'd come visit, for the right price!  
Funny, that this saqddle appeared to have fit him a couple of years ago. He must have grown quite a bit.

| He was a late bloomer! He also doesn't get any special treatment. It all had to come natural and in his own time. He does get fat on just grass hay though- he's a pretty easy keeper. Especially since he didn't get worked too hard. He is bred for cow and to RUN. It doesn't take too much to make him hot! I don't grain him. Even alfalfa will do it.

I loved that stud. He was also a buckskin and a grandson of SunFrost. That makes this bloodlines of this horse Doc Bar, Driftwood, Harlan and King on top and he is pretty heavy Otoe on the bottom 
. He is the only horse left on the place.
