1170.0. "Wanted: Lucinda Green Saddle" by USMFG::CRANCOURT () Tue Jan 30 1990 12:53

    
    
    	Lucinda Green, where are you???  I am looking for a Lucinda
    Green, PALMER all-purpose saddle, 17" and with a wide channel.
    Anyone who might be interested in selling a used one, plese drop
    me a note at VAXmail, as indicated, or, via All-In-One, @MRO.
    
    	Also, I have been unable to find any Lucinda Greens at the local
    Tac shops I frequent.  Does anyone know where I might order one,
    or has anyone seen Lucinda Green saddles on display in the N.H./
    Mass./just-over-the-border-in-Conn. areas?
    
    	Thanks for any pointers which might be provided.
    
    	And, happy trails...

1170.1Dover SaddlerySKELTN::FOXHow do YOU spell relief? VACATION!Tue Jan 30 1990 13:197
When I was searching for a saddle, I tried a Lucinda Green all-purpose
event saddle (I can't remember which model name) from Dover Saddlery in
Wellesley, MA.

Good luck!

1170.3what I meant by a "wide channel"USMFG::CRANCOURTMon Feb 05 1990 12:1419
    	Re:note 1170.1 (what do I mean by a wide channel?)  What I mean, 
    and I may not have the proper terminology, is the width of the space,
    or channel, on the underside of the saddle.  I gather this varies
    from brand to brand and can also differ within the same brand. 
    For instance, the person for whom I actually made the inquiry has
    borrowed two Lucinda Green saddles while searching for one to purchase.
    Both saddles were the same model, but one had a wide channel.  The
    saddle with the narrow channel did not fit as well.  On the horse
    in question, the narrower channel had the net effect of pinching
    him up around the shoulders because the saddle, overall, was not
    as flush to his back as the one with the wider channel.  Using a
    Cashell Cushion did not improve the way the saddle fit his physique.

1170.4wide tree??TOMLIN::ROMBERGwandering aimlessly...Mon Feb 05 1990 12:263
	 It sounds  as though what you're looking for is a wide tree, as
     opposed to a narrow, or regular.  Am I correct?  

1170.5tree vs. channelUSMFG::CRANCOURTWed Feb 14 1990 14:5815
    Re : trees and channels....
    
    	Folks in my barn refer to the tree when speaking of the width
    of the underside of the saddle, and the channel as the space between
    the left and right sides.  The friend looking for the Lucinda Green
    asserts that it is not a wide tree she is seeking, but a wide
    channel.  Being a relatively new rider ---I began 1 1/2 years ago
    at a ripe age verging on antiquity --- I do not have all the lexicon
    down pat, though I've got the basics.  It may be that I am not 
    properly explaining what I am being told, but I am told tree and
    channel are related, but different.

1170.7GULLET?CGOO01::LMILLERNow try it once more ......Fri Feb 16 1990 18:003
    Isn't that channel called the gullet - at least in pony club it
    was!
    
1170.8I love my Lucinda GreenCLOVE::HEWSONMon Feb 26 1990 16:387
    I just wanted to add that I have a Lucinda Green dressage saddle and
    think that it is wonderful.  I bought it about 4 years ago at the
    Nashoba Valley Tack Shop which I think is out of business now.  Good
    luck in finding one, I am sure that it will be worth it.
