They look good, both of 'em. Seems like the bottom one would set down
on a horse a bit more. Does it have quarter horses bars, by
chance? The first one looks to me like it would fit a horse with more
wither and the other one looks like it might be for a wider type horse.

Are you going to like the stirrup leathers bein' on the outside of
the fenders as in the second picture?

I like the 'Idaho twist' on the stirrups in the first picture. Maybe the
other one has that as well, it's just that you can't see that part.

You need to ride them to know which one YOU like best.
We can't do that obviously. Razz Which one has the narrowest
seat?

Try them and then tell us which one you liked the best.

Good luck!!

I like the design on # 2 but I like the way # 1 is built,both have quarter horse bars,I like the twisted stirrups,let a saddle by Big bend Saddlery get away from me with twisted stirrups,was probably the best saddle I will ever own.
good luck

If they are built by the same maker and they both have the same tree. Follow FH's advice and buy the one that feels the best.

A picture might be worth a 1000 words but 10 hours in the saddle tells the WHOLE story.

If you're going to rope much the flat plate rigging in the first is a whole lot stouter than the skirt rigging in the other.

The only way you can choose is for you to sit in both of them.
You asked which I would buy...I said neither since I am a forward sitting rider and both of those saddles would be painful to ride any length of time in. You have to pick the saddle that fits YOU.

If your wanting to show saddles for a saddlemaker cool, does she make one for a forward sitting rider ....more in the lines of a hunt seat saddle?

Neither.... I don't care for the way the front skirt is... I would think that it would want to sit to far foreward for my horses and would gall them...
