I am looking for some insight on saddle fit for my mare. She is a high withered TB and my FQHB Tex Tan has stopped fitting her as well as it used to. My question is, is this something I can shim for the time being until I can save up more money to buy something that actually fits? And what are quality saddles with semi-QH bars that are out there? I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures to show the fit.

My colt is very racey/TB built has a higher wither and is narrow. A double j pro fits him great. They are made for this type of horse, but have enough bar flare to fit a wider horse as well. Honestly the best fitting saddle I've seen. They have a 6.75" gullet. You can find used ones reasonable, just size down your seat.
Circle y provens also seemed to fit higher withered and sway backed horses well. They have a lot of rock to the tree. You could pick one of these up for a very reasonable price.
