Hello,
I am looking for information on Charro saddles.
I have not been able to find any internet resource that explains how the typical tree fits a horse, and only one reference to a saddle having a modern tree. Though I have found plenty of ads for saddles..from the ultra cheap to the exquisite.. fit for a king.
Do you need a shorter seat than the usual western saddle..seeing that they lack a ground seat and padding?
How does the way they're rigged effect the fit? Are they ever made with back cinches?
Have only seen one very narrow antique charro saddle in my life ...and the other saddles... from a distance..while watching Jerry Diaz.
Have discussed via email with someone who said they used to rope some pretty big stock in a Charro saddle..down in FL. That they love the way the flat seat sits them close to the horse...and he has never sored a back.
Now I'm curious to know what others may know. And this is the perfect forum to ask on. Incredible amount of talent and knowledge here!
Thank you.
