Ok I need some help.... before I go out and buy a 5th saddle for my horse I’d like some opinions.
She is a 3 yo, short backed and obviously is going to grow and change. What I've learned from this process is that saddles are a pain in the butt lol, but really it seems like angle of the bars is a huge deal and I know sqhb do not work for her, this one in the pictures is fqhb with a 7” gullet. This is the closest to fit I have come out of all the saddles. There are no dry spots but some ruffed up hair behind her shoulders as she is still a little downhill. My question is, will this work until she finishes growing? Or should I just take her to a fitter and buy another saddle. Why can she not be like my gelding and fit everything.
The pictures after riding aren’t great quality to se what’s going on, I don’t see dry spots jumping out in the sweat pattern, but she didn’t look very sweaty either.
The saddle pictures don’t look terrible, I’d keep playing around with some pads. I’m a fan of 5 stars but I also keep a CSI around when I have a growing horse or an outside horse that I need to work on fitting a saddle to.
