I finally found an affordable saddle that fits both Gussie and me.
It's a Double C team roping saddle. In excellent condition with a few minor things that need doing- replace the saddle strings and 1 concho, change out the stirrups and put the Hamley twist on the stirrup leathers. The leather quality is excellent, I think it's Herman Oak leather, and the tooling is quite nice, though a little more than I am used to.
We went for a stroll through the woods and down to the river and back.
The saddle is a bit low in the wither but it doesn't touch. I'll probably ride with a breast collar to help keep it in place.

Yaaay, glad you found a nice saddle that fits!! Didn't realize twisting stirrups had a formal name. It's good to give credit where credit is due, especially when it makes such a huge difference!!!
Good for you and Gussie! Hope it works out!
Beautiful saddle. What is the Hamley twist? Is that the soak and then run the broom stick through or something more technical?
