Red face Please show me saddle front view pictures [more specs added post 30!]

Ok. I need to see at least the front views of some different english saddles. English meaning CC, AP, Dressage, Working Hunter... whatever.

Please name the saddle and tree size.

If you have a rear view or some sort of picture that shows how curvy it is, that's great too. I just really need to find a saddle. I'm sad that the one I just found didn't work, but I can't do anything about that.

As a general basis, I'm looking for a saddle with at least a 4.5 or 5" pommel space, but up to 7". The tree angle needs to be relatively "flat" as well. My saddle budjet is fairly low, but don't worry about that when posting pictures. I just want to see what's out there that could work.

Thanks.

Duetts are made for wide horses. Their 34cm is wider than (let's say) Stubben's 34cm.

Hi Crayon, I am just subbing so I can snap some pictures and send you some photos...
hah my saddle is my car... hmmm but I am at work... hmmm again...

I'm back.
The photos aren't great. It was raining, and the saddle was/is in the car. Ignore the clutter and huge amounts of dust egads! How embarassing.

Stubben Scandica DL, 32 cm tree (Dressage)








I didn't have a saddle rack on hand, but I tired my best given the circumstances.
If you want to see more photos (ie better ones) of either this saddle or my 32cm Artus, let me know and I will make arrangements.

I'm pretty sure our mares have similar backs...
