Ok, so I got my 4 yo back from the trainer and I started having difficulties with her giving to me to the right. Turns out it is my saddle that doesn't fit her properly. I ride in a Corriente I won in 2007 so this is all new to me. I'm looking at either a Pro Rider or a Brittany Pozzi. My question is, do I order it and hope it fits???? Or can I take my filly somewhere and get it custom fit for her??

Your best bet is to find a local saddle fitter. If there are none then try as many different Saddles as you can and buy the one that fits.
Another option is to find places where you can return saddles for a full refund. Or do demo programs. You will still be out of the shipping costs but better then getting stuck with another saddle that doesn't fit.
FYI it will prob be a lengthy process. I have been trying to find a saddle that fits my horse since june!

I wouldn't get a custom saddle for her at 4yr old. She will still fill out and grow some then you'll be back to square one. It took alot of trying my friends saddles on and just seeing which ones fit my boy best.
