Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | If you want the list of saddles I have NOT tried on this horse, it would be much much shorter :) He had three different crown c models on, none of which I even rode him. The whole idea of behind the shoulders will not work for this horse. Caldwell he has had a rocket, a pro max, and I forget the other one. Double J he has had LM, LM wide, LM Nuevo, Pozzi wide, number 10 tree, and one other that I forget. A few coats, treeless, and about a dozen other brands. That's why we can say comfortably that NOTHING fits him. Not unless we mold a saddle specifically to him. Which I can't afford to do if we can make something else work because then it won't fit any other horse. Here's a video of how he likes the Meleta Brown by Crates with his corrector pad. I think he likes it :) He has a very very short back, and not only wide shoulders, but literally soccer ball ROUND, not flat, and his withers are buried inside his shoulders.

Nice run but I would add a back cinch to keep the back of the saddle from coming up and slapping him in the back..JMO I would say you found a fit.
Also wanted to add that the saddle looks like a great fit for you also. You looked very balanced in this saddle. I had one and loved it. My horse outgrew it or I would still be riding in it.

Location: In my own world | Coats saddles are another that is to sit behind the shoulder. I do not own one but if you look on YouTube and search Larry Coats Saddle position there is a good video where he explains it is to sit, his saddles, and also interesting info about how your cinch should sit. I can't post links from my phone | |

Yes, I agree. Now if someone will just come show me what I did with it......really the only reason it's not on is because I misplaced it. Seriously....I'm that absent minded....I took it off to ride a colt and have no idea where it's at.
And yes, I still think that having the saddle fit me so well is actually helping my horse tremendously! | |
