Bob Marshall saddles

I have an arabian mare that always seems to get rubbed in the girth. I'm
currently using an old  western rawhide endurance saddle which I have had
the rigging set back. I have a wardrobe of different kinds of girths and
the best one is the cheapest, a thin string girth. I have fuzzy ones,
leather ones, a big heavy roping style girths all of which rub. I'm
currently looking at buying a Bob Marshall with the help of a saddle maker
for fit. It's almost as if she doesn't have enough room for her girth.
This on again off again rubbing has really prevented me from doing any
long distance riding as this is a real no no. I also always stretch out
her legs with pulls the excess skin forward. I have set the saddle farther
back. I'm hoping that this new saddle will solve this problem once and for
all. I've also owned 15 horses and have never had a rub on any of them
except my Arab.
Of course any one who owns and loves Arabs knows how special they are!
