Descriptions / Measures ...
Fiberglass
material.
Gullet
angles are 90º on weight
bearing surfaces.
Twist
(from front of seat area to front of gullet) are
moderate - good fits for Quarter Horse or similar
horse builds. Twist results in the
angle of the gullet surface to rotate slightly outward
& upward, thus appearing wider.
Gullet
Width measures provided are at the gullets leading edge
(top-most & front-most) of gullet
opening. Clearances are 3" (from bottom
of swell to narrowest part of gullet opening).
Gullet
widths available range from 6 1/2" to
7". Different widths are appropriate
for different breeds. We have saddles to fit
Quarter Horse, Thoroughbreds, & Arab cross-breeds.
Bar
lengths are sized for Standard Quarter
Horses. The bars have a mild upward curve
(back to front).

from the below the swell center point to the gullet
surface.
"Twist"
- amount of curvature under the swell from front of
seating area to gullet.
