Saddle for High-withered Horse

[RDCARRIE@aol.com]

I'm in need of input from all of you knowledgeable folks on Ridecamp!  I 
recently bought new horse, who has very high withers.  I find myself needing 
to begin the Great Saddle Search, since my Sport Saddle doesn't have enough 
clearance in the gullet.  I'm still in mourning over this, since I'm probably 
going to have to sell the Sport Saddle to afford something to fit the new guy 
(and I love this saddle!).  But he's definitely not happy in the Sport 
Saddle, so no choice.

Anyhow - does anyone have suggestions regarding which saddles might be worth 
looking into for a high-withered horse?  I prefer more of a western-style 
saddle (as opposed to English).  What about Specialized Saddles - do any of 
you have experience/opinions/etc. about them?

Any input, ideas, etc. would be greatly appreciated.  Private replies are 
welcome, to avoid cluttering the list.

Thanks in advance,
