Your saddle fit should be checked every 6-12 months. Since our horses change very gradually, we usually don't notice when they are off until we refit. Horses change shape due to age, conditioning, training, nutrition and seasons. If you buy a saddle that fits really well today and it cannot be adjusted, you might be saddle shopping again really soon. So that the saddle can continue to fit as the horse develops or if you change horses, I only offer for sale saddles that are adjustable.
These are the manufacturers that I proudly represent. Each is special in their own way.
Specialized Saddles- adjustable trail & endurance saddles
TW Saddlery- adjustable trail & western performance saddles
Peter Horobin-adjustable trail, dressage, jump & endurance saddles
