[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1042821, member: 2011"] Just chime'n in here. Horses and me don't get along real well. I was made to screw up a good horse. I seem to be able to turn a baby sitter into a rank bronco after 20 minutes into the ride. As far as saddles go I to wanted something comfortable for me and the equine, in this case a mammoth jack. Pretty sweet ride. Decently fast on the trail but don't intent to make any kind of schedule. you get there when you get there. I made my own saddle. An "A" fork Butch Cassidy tree and with a half seat with a high cantle. It's a replica of a circa 1860 saddle. The saddle maker calls it a depression saddle as it takes a lot less leather than one like Broz has.:roll eyes: I can still rope a bull with it....if I could rope a bull... and if the donk were quick enough to move.....:rolleyes: Pretty darn sweet to ride and just so happens to fit ol' Jethro just fine with a little extra pad in the rear. Fairly light also. 43 pounds with breast strap and britch'n. Great for steep up an down spots. The tree is about half the cost of the raw materials. Took me 3 weeks to build under the guidance of a pro. BTW I can't sew straight worth a toot.... When ya get a saddle don't go cheap. [/QUOTE]
