Red Bull Agressive Posts: 5981 Location: North Dakota	My sister got this Circle Y JBN saddle last summer. Her gelding has huge withers and no topline. We've been working very hard trying to teach him to carry himself properly and I'm hoping once we change his feed program he'll bulk up a little. Anywho, I'm super pleased how this saddle fits him overall, but the little piece beneath the swell seems to sit right on his withers. His pad has a wither cutout but I'm wondering if this is causing him issues? (unnamed.jpg) Attachments ---------------- unnamed.jpg (70KB - 233 downloads)

Miss Laundry Misshap Posts: 5271	I have the regular fit. My gelding has huge shoulders, super high withers (TB age 21) and a short wide back. My other gelding is more blocky QH build. I don't really like the JBN on him. Width seems too narrow. I think the wide would be good for him, but it would definitely fit too flat on my Shark fin! LOL

Red Bull Agressive Posts: 5981 Location: North Dakota	Has anyone used the 5 star pads that are open all the way down the spine? They seem like they would be super comfy and create more of a channel. I don't want to go too wide, as his old 1.5" felt pad made the fit too tight.
