Questions & Answers

Two questions: I am 5’1” and wonder if the medium fender length will work for me? My horse is a little over 15 hands with mutton withers and wondering what length size girth to order? Thank you!
Thank you for your questions!
At 5’1”, the medium fenders may be too long, especially if your jeans inseam is around 29 inches or less. I would generally lean toward the short fenders, but your inseam is more useful than height alone. Could you please let me know your jeans inseam measurement?
For the girth, your horse’s height and mutton withers do not tell us the correct length by themselves. The Quantum Short & Light Western may use either English billets or a Western cinch adapter, depending on the saddle’s configuration. If you send me the link or a photo of the exact saddle you are considering, along with the length of your horse’s current well-fitting girth or cinch, I can help you narrow down the appropriate option.
The DP English girths are available in approximately 20.5”, 24.5”, 29.5”, and 33.5” lengths, but I would not want to recommend one based only on your horse being a little over 15 hands.
Because mutton-withered horses can be more prone to saddle movement, we would also want to confirm the saddle’s balance, panel contact, and girthing position rather than relying on girth tightness alone.
Let customers speak for us
Looking for a bareback pad that was comfortable for an older woman, and I found the perfect one!!! Not only do I love it, but my horse loves it too
I just bought a DP El Campo saddle and got the wool felt pad that fits the saddle. I love the pad. It is light, flexible, shaped perfect for the El Campo saddle and contoured to not sit on my Trakehner's withers. I will probably get a second one so I always have a clean pad!
Love this saddle, very soft felt and colors I picked are beautiful, brown felt with havana leather color. Match’s my DP Quantum Sport saddle perfectly!! Very well made and love the contoured shape! I would definitely buy it again!!
Superb customer service. Prompt delivery. And the dp saddle fits my little QH perfectly and looks terrific.
good quality; my horse and I love it!
Great quality. The style, fit, and construction provide more control than any other cavesson that I've seen on the market. Highly recommend, well worth the price.
I have a young horse and 2 older horses that I want to fit with a saddle that was lightweight comfortable for me and adjustable to be comfortable for them. This saddle fit the bill. It is all black but look great with black mane tail combination and my gray horse!
I like the suppleness of this wool pad. it seems to conform to the horse's conformation better.
Every step of the purchase process was great. River took excellent care of me and communicated each and every update along the way. I’m super happy with my DP Short & Light WD. Highly recommend Saddle Colony and River!
This pad is wonderful. Love it! The quality is outstanding and it fits perfectly with my Quantum short and light western.
These are very beautiful and quality. I am new to this style of riding and I really like the wider foot bed for your boots.
This is a great girth. The size 2 fits both my narrow 14.2 hand and 15 hand spotted saddle horses.
I have not been able to ride in them yet due to the weather. But I’m looking forward to riding in them once the weather is good again.
