Veteran Posts: 119 Location: NeverLand	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.

Expert Posts: 3815 Location: The best kept secret in TX	Look into a round skirt or ask any maker/manufacturer for a "Stripdown" barrel saddle. They'll look similar to the skirts on these saddles: (Cactus.jpg) (CSB_576_large.jpg) Attachments ---------------- Cactus.jpg (10KB - 211 downloads) CSB_576_large.jpg (23KB - 205 downloads)

Extreme Veteran Posts: 534 Location: Ohio girl moved to PA	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.

Married to a Louie Lover Posts: 3303	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.
