Ok, so here is an update on the fit of the new Syd Hill Barkley Fender Saddle.
Well it gets a big βοΈπͺπ from Saddler Wayne Field.
Here it is on a real horse, with real shape!
It sat nicely behind the scapular with no pinching, cinch straps were running in the correct direction, length of saddle more than suitable for this horse with still a few inches to spare in length. The back panels also curved up nicely in shape of the horses loins.
With the gullet also being adjustable, there was nothing much we could fault with this saddle for its price point of $2695.
Photos are with a thin black check pad, then some with a thicker felt wool pad, the fit was still good with both pads.
