Subject: [RC] Need a Saddle for a Wide
Backed Pony (little horse)
Hey Everyone!
First let me appologize, I'm sure that
this topic has been covered, but I can't seem to get anywhere with the
archives.
I have a POA who will be 6 next month. He's 13.2hh, and
pretty much build like a little hunter, or small TB, except for his
back. He is currently broad and flat, and his withers, while certainly
there, are fairly low.
Until last October, I had been riding him in my
OF Cutback, but it started to bridge, then I switched to my daughter's Wintec
Close Contact with a new *wide* gullet. This fit him great until about 4
weeks ago, when he started getting dry patches behind his withers the size of
my hand.
Since then, I have tried: All of the other English saddles
that I own, Including a Thornhill Grand Prix (which bridged) Wintec
Endurance, old style, Wide tree (too wide, saddle tipped foreward, seat to big
for me) Wintec Endurance, Old style, Med Tree (too narrow, fit me
great) Big Horn Endurance. Fit him ok, but he was cranky with it,
and, well, I just don't like western saddles. Thornhill "Trail" saddle,
Wide tree (too narrow. You can currently find this one on e-bay at my
whole sale cost)
