Sina outgrew the stretched (by the farrier) x-wide gullet when she was about six years old. A Wintec x-wide gullet is nominally 33.5cm, according to a Wintec sales rep I talked to. I finally sold her 36cm Duett saddle because it was way too narrow. I'm sure she would require at least a 38cm now, but even so, no treed saddle would probably be shaped correctly, even if it were wide enough. Karen Thomas, NC
