Sharon Saare tree sizes

[MustangRider]

Does anyone have a list describing Sharon Saare saddle tree sizes or
where I can get those descriptions? I found it once a long time ago on
Ride Camp, but can't anymore. SS doesn't explain them on her website.
Thanks.

A width Prominent on Thoroughbred type withers--well defined goes on narrow Arabs and Paso's, those 

with shoulders that blend into their sides. 

B Width Horse has well defined withers, but is a dab thicker set, and shoulder may be more prominent. 

This works for many Arab's, Morgan's, Tennessee Walkers, Foxtrotter's, and some Quarter Horses. 

C Width Accommodates a wider backed horse, but still of the breed type . . . just a thicker set. Used 

more on Arabs, Morgan's, and Tennessee Walkers. 

The above trees work best on horses whose backs slope away from the spine. The following are for flatter 

backed horses.

CC Width Like the C tree, but better for horses that are flatter over the back and loin. Also good if horse 

is slightly sway backed or bunchy shouldered, or whose croup is higher than withers. 

D Width For the really thickset horse. Some of these individuals have good withers and top lines, some 

are very flat over the withers . . . all are broad over loin and back. It is the angle of the bars that makes 

this tree work. Ideal for Quarter Horses, and many of the new thicker Arabs, and quite a few of the BLM 

Wild Horses. 

DD Width For wider back horse then the D width would fit. 

DDD Width for wide back like the Morgan and horse with draft horse cross. 

E Width For the horse that is very broad backed but requires shoulder flare. 

F Width For the horse that is very straight backed but requires shoulder flare

Are Sharon Saare saddles still available? We used to use them all the time in years past, and my husband prefers them to anything else. I have loved my Arabian Saddle Co. Sylvan GP for over a decade, but I would like a bit more security now. I have a very sturdy Morgan mare, and my Saare saddle is an A tree.

Yes, Barbara, Sharon Saare saddles are still being made.  Can't give you the website but I'm sure it'll turn up on google.
