Anyone have any ideas as to what would fit her? The cactus CJ I had seemed to have the correct angle but was to wide. I thought this Dale Martin by reinsman fit but she's having some serious dry spots. My Lynn Mckenzie special has to much rock. Sigh. Any ideas appreciated. Attempting to attach pics...
I have been through so many saddles the past couple years. I finally found one that seems to fit everything and paired it with a Corrector pad by Len Brown. Check out Marty Byrd saddles, they are great quality and are made to fit a range of horses.

I had to buy a THE CORRECTOR pad for my CJ.. It fits my mare like a glove now. A little wide is fixable, I had a dry spot behind her shoulder. Just needed a little extra right there and now it's perfect.
I'm going threw the same issue!! I have a higher withered boy that everythings been to tight on his shoulders. The only thing that hasn't pinched him is a Charmayne James that has a 7 1/2" gullet, which everyone thought was to wide. I worry cuz I'm afraid it'll sit on his spine, but kinda hard to tell.
meletta brown saddle fits both of mine and one of them is extremely hard to fit
Meleta is awsome! Even if her saddle does not fit (she did not think it would work for my mare) but she walked me through fitting her and looked at many many pictires and helped me find the pefrect saddle for her. Shes such a welth of knowlage .... i can not recall her board name, but i talked to her on FB
