What saddles do you guys have with horses with a short back. My guy is 14.2hh and has a pretty short back. The saddle I currently have for him is to long. The skirt sits on top of his hip/butt. I ride in a 15 inch saddle. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I use an FX3 and seems to fit mine just fine. I did have to go to an 8" gullet as she is broad also. Your horse sounds to be about the same size as mine.

My peptoboonsmal has a pretty short back. I only ride him in my pozzi because it doesn't have a ton of excess skirt. I have an older Ammerman that literally looks like a dress on him!

my guy is 14.3 and short backed. I ride in a 15" Circle Y 'the proven' and its round skirted and fits him perfectly. Found it online for a hell of a deal and its been my favorite saddle so far.

I found a triple creek with a round skirt and ordered 28" long 5 stars for him. When I had my rope saddle made I had the maker shorten the skirts (and the rear cinch) to fit him better.
