Recently I was fortunate enough to pick up a neatly new
Specialized Saddle locally. It's the Western model with a horn, and in skirt D
rigging front and rear (not dropped rigging).
Here's what's going on:
I was able to easily and successfully shim the loins and get a
great sweat pattern. From the mid back to the withers I am getting a tear drop
dry area on both sides. This is nothing new with this horse as I have gone
through a dozen saddles, all of which leave her dry in these areas. The
saddle wants to slide back, and drop down in the front. The shoulders seem a bit
tight as they are, so I am hesitant to make them narrower.I know my horse is
built a little on the downhill side. What have you out there done for your
downhill horses to fit your Specialized Saddles?
