There are instructions for wither tracings here:

and basic guidelines for *****sing saddle fit.

  Send them wither tracings (photos too) and they can make a very good
guess as to which tree size (and shape) is most likely to work for
Pancake.  Their trial policy is fantastic--you can actually RIDE in
the saddle (no sheathing of stirrup leathers necessary) for a week to
get a good feel.

The monoflap dressage model is the Vinici (at the bottom of the page):

(there are also three used ones currently listed)

I got my first BC saddle --with modifications-- 3 1/2 weeks after I
ordered it!!!  I know that there are other good distributors of the BC
saddles, too.  I have had a great experience with the folks at
TMT.   :-)
