While my horse didn't have a sore back, he did have problems in the
shoulder. My saddle was inhibiting his movement. I went to a
treeless saddle and it made all the difference in the world. He now loves
to canter (he never did before) and he moves with such an extended trot down the
trail. Plus I find the treeless saddle extremely secure. When he
spooks and jumps sideways I feel like I am stuck in the saddle. I think it
is because with a treeless I sit so close to his back and my legs really drape
along his sides. The treeless has never caused a sore back and we have
done 4 50's this year. Good luck
