Changing the tree size?

riding_reaper · 03-21-2006, 04:20 PM

I had a REALLY super nice Kieffer a while back but the tree was too narrow for my horse. I regretibly sold it and now I found out kieffer's can have their whole tree size changed. I believe Stubbens can too. I am looking at more Kieffers and Stubbens because the leather is sooooo soft and it was soooo comfortable. However, most of them I find have medium trees. Does anyone know about how much would it cost to have the tree altered to a wider fit? If so, where could I send it. I am willing to ship it off to a saddler if I get one with the wrong size tree.

Yes on Kieffers, no on stubbens. At least, I have never heard of them being able to change their tree. I have owned 3 stubbens so far and LOVED them all! But I don't believe you can change their treed size. Try contacting the US side of Stubben. They are very nice and respond quickly to questions. http://www.stubbennorthamerica.com/

Let us know if you find out that Stubbens can have the tree size changed. I'd be interesting in knowing more about that...
