Re: Saddle fitting a TWH

[Truman Prevatt <truman.prevatt@netsrq.com>]

Saddle fitting at big strong shoulder TWH can be a problem.  You want
your saddle to fit in such a way that it doesn't iterfere with the
motion of the shoulder.

I had to have a custom fit saddle for a TWH with a build similar to the
one you describe.

I always thought that the saddle went on the withers, but from talking to people and reading, it seems to depend on the horse, or are all of my saddles just too narrow?. Both mares are in the 15.3 hand range and have alot of muscle in the shoulder area. Thank you! Susan and the BIG girls!
