I don't even know where to begin to look for a rope saddle for my little guy, everything I have doesn't fit him. Big surprise right lol
Anyways he's 14.2 HH and built like a box he has huge shoulders good withers and he kind of hollows out behind his shoulders because of how big they are. He has a short wide back and big ol hind quarters.
Right now I have a wider Martha Josey with a lot of rock to it that fits him really well. I use a biofit pad on him with the fill in beind the shoulders and that makes just about a perfect fit. He actually has room for his shoulders and a saddle that isn't digging into him anywhere because it has the right amount of rock.
Are there any rope saddles out there that are built like that? Or built for a horse like him?

I have a 14.3 super stocky built mare, and a 15h super stocky gelding. I have a Teskeys Team Roping saddle and it fits them both perfectly. I use an impact gel pad, and it works perfectly. They are average/low withers and super cow horse built. Love LOVE my saddle!!
