How about this one ?

[HAY MAKER]

good luck.
PS gotta find me a work saddle that will fit these wide backed colts,my old Tex tan measures about 6&3/4 at the gullet ,to narrow.

Well, Haynaker, if you buy this saddle to ride colts with, the first thing I would advise is get some narrower sturrips. Those wide stirrups are a bugger to hang on to--very easy to lose--and you sure dont' want that riding a young horse. The horsemen I know that train colts daily use Oxbow stirrups for gripping the stirrup with their feet. Not that I am telling you to use Oxbows, as they take some getting used to, but I am telling
you these stirrups are way too wide to be safe.

Also, this saddle doesn't look to me like it would sit down on a horse, especially since you are looking for a saddle for a wide-backed horse.
This one appears to be too high and narrow in the gullet (front).

And that padded seat looks way too padded. We don't ride saddles with
a padded seat. If you ride one very long you might get a chapped --- ... :wink:

Well my theory on stirrups is the bigger the better,I would rather loose one than to get stuck in one. And saddles,the heavier the better,need all the help I can get.
This saddle is not one I would use on colts anyway,use this one for visitin the neighbor lady.
I have a set of aluminum oxbow stirrups around here some place,if you take a look at a set,I believe you will see they are plenty wide,harder to stick in.
good luck

PS It will take more than a padded saddle seat to chap my skinny ash

Just have Ralph Shimon build you what you want. It won't break the bank and you won't wait for forever to get it.

He probably has it in stock.

that good ole south texas heat will do it on skinney ash
i can tell you that first hand
as for that saddle i don't belive i would like it very well
now i have not seen your horses but i start some that come here pretty fat and after i ride them awhile it's amazing you start to see that they were just fat and now have some withers

just my opinion but i think you should check out teskey's saddle out of weatherford texas
i have been riding them some and i have my second one from them now and i like them fine and i use the heck out a saddle and put it to the test on almost a daily basis
and the tesky's are priced right also for a poor puncher
later
