| Okay I've got a dumb question. Where it's a flex-tree would it fit from semi to full QH bars? | |

| I am not 100% sure on my answer and someone is more than welcome to correct me if I'm wrong...
The flex tree doesn't change the size of the tree but makes the ride more comfortable for the rider and more comfortable for the horse... It moves or flexes with the horse's movement...
Riding in this saddle is like riding in a Cadillac as opposed to a 1992 Dodge (LOL no offense to anyone - we use to own one so I know how horrible bumpy they are 8)) | |

| I've got another saddle here too... a 15 inch Alamo that I can get some pictures of if someone is interested its an $1100 saddle new and has seem maybe 4-5 rides but I'll entertain offers...
ETA - if anyone is wondering why we have all these "hardly" used saddles it's because my husband is trying to find a new one he likes but since he likes to ride on a saddle as hard and flat as a board they just don't quite come like that anymore... so he tries them for a week or so and then decides they aren't working out... | |

| umm I was thinking of selling my custom saddle, but first I have to find one that fits Gunnar before I sell it.. I find my custom is so heavy, I took it to Joan's on the weekend and lifting up on her Buck darn near gave me a hernia.. lol.. putting it on Gunnar isn't so bad but dragging the sucker around is getting harder and harder every year..
D I like the flex tree one.. they are nice saddles.. | |

You are right.. The Flex tree makes a proper fitting saddle more comfortable for the horse and rider But does not make an ill fitting saddle fit any better. | |

| Alamo is another good saddle. Full quarter horse bars, and pretty good leather. | |
