Anyone out there have a Fryso? What are your thoughts on its fit and comfort? I'm currently riding in a calfskin Devoucoux (nice and comfy), custom-made for me, and my old horse. He was pretty big barreled, so I thought it woudl fit my Friesian, but now I'm thinking maybe not.

So, I'm wondering about the Fryso.
1) Does anyone know how they "run" - I think they can be purchased with tree size 3, 4, 5, and 6 - what do these numbers mean?
2) How do you go about fitting one to your horse?
3) What about flap length? I need the smallest seat they make with the longest flap they make - is that possible?
4) Also, I think they have different styles - more AP, an AP/dressage combo, then 2 dressage styles?
5) What about colors? Anything other than black? If not, ugh - new bridles, too!
6) Do they offer "upgraded" leathers, like calfskin and buffalo?

Thanks,
Joni
