I'm in desperate need of a new saddle, and although i don't like to go this route I'm looking on Ebay.  I'm watching an auction for a MacPherson Western Saddle.  I've never heard of this brand before.  I found a website that sells them and they were priced at almost $1600.  Does anyone have any experience with this brand of saddle?  My horse has taller withers, but a wide back and our old saddle didn't fit right.  If I want to show him, I really need to find one soon.  Any feedback would be soooo appreciated.

I don't know much about this brand either, but I wanted to mention that sometimes you can contact the seller on Ebay and see if you can arrive on an agreement that if the saddle doesn't fit, you can send it back? I know this sounds strange, but it can be done. Several years ago, my husband bought a '65 Mustang on Ebay, but before he bid, he contacted the seller who agreed that when we went to pick up the car (we're in S. CA, car was in N. CA) that if it was not as represented online, we did not have to buy it and he would release us from our obligation to buy. Just a thought because saddles are such an investment.
