The size 16 Euro arrived today. Smaller tree, bigger seat, and it fit Journey pretty darned good with no shimming! I believe I could tweak it a little, but with the Skito under it I believe it is gonna fit her fine. Now as to fitting me? The result on that is we'll have to see, but I did some arena work this afternoon and I felt completely different in this saddle than I did the other. Felt like I was "in the pocket" like my Crestridge feels and the 15 inch did NOT. So I'm really thinking this is going to do the trick!
***Bonus Points: The mahogany color is an EXACT match for Journey's spots. It looks really good on her. I was actually surprised that I like the color, and in fact, might like it as well as black.
Tomorrow I may see if I can have surgery done on my woolback Skito. The flaps on it were cut for an over-size english dressage shaped pad (Barefoot London?). So I may cut down the flaps to be shorter and shaped to the saddle flaps and hem them on the machine or see if my saddle guy can put a hem stitch with his machine.
Dirty stalls calling my name to be cleaned and it is sultry out...

Would love to see pictures of your new girl with her new saddle.
