    What about the 2 to 3 finger clearance. Especially for a wade.

    Thank you for making this video. You gave a lot of good information in a short amount of time. I appreciate that. I have a TWH and an Australian saddle that I think is too narrow. I'll try your methods to check it and go from there.

    Thanknyou sir. I appreciate your hat. 1 question: what make model is your saddle?

    I hear conflicting information concerning dry spots. Some say all dry spots are bad, and I've heard others say only small dry spots are bad - like silver dollar size; and large dry spots like the size of your hand are ok. Can you speak to this please? Thanks.

    What size and weight is this saddlePlease?

  • @jonnyp.5809
    @jonnyp.5809 Před 3 lety +1

    Question! There’s not that much space between the gullet and the horses withers. You could fit your hand in there but it doesn’t look like 2 fingers could fit in there. Is that because of the saddle type? So they fit a bit different than other saddles?

    • @f69tele
      @f69tele Před 3 lety +1

      That's pretty typical for a Wade type saddle. The gullet and horn are low to allow less tipping and better weight distribution during roping.

      Miles city cogshell. Hard to find but fit the Cayuse and smaller narrow horses. Or a Hamley

    Nice video, but I disagree with the dry spot theory you gave. Dry spots can be from to much pressure OR no pressure. You have to figure out which one is occurring.

  • @epona9166
    @epona9166 Před 3 lety

    You're showing how you can fit your hand under the front of the saddle in the shoulder area by lifting up the saddle. That doesn't prove anything. You're supposed to be able to slide your hand under there in the shoulder area without picking up the saddle. When it's cinched up actually. There has to be some flare in the front of the bars in order to do that.
