I have a mare that is very straight backed that I'm having an impossible time finding a saddle for. Just curious if anybody else has had a really straight backed horse and what saddle did you find that fit the best. Thank You!

Pictures would help..

I have had a couple like this and a Tod Sloan B3 worked really good for them.

Is this horse wide/narrow, low withered, no withers ,high withered? Alot depends on the built of this horse to decide what type of saddle/tree you would need for this mare. So pictures would help alot. 

Have you tried Three Forks? I see you are in MT.

I have had the same problem with a mare I have. I am having trouble getting through to a popular saddle maker that I was told makes wide and extra wide trees - over 3 months is the short story - (I tried 2 of his trees on my mare and it was suggested by friends to get him to do a custom fit) so I have started looking at others.

Coincidentally,  right now I have two trees from Three Forks of the Sue Smith to try - the wide looks pretty good on her and another wide horse. I am waiting to hear the measurements on them - I can't find any info on that part.  And I haven't heard a lot of feedback from others on the wide fit. They make BEAUTIFUL SADDLES! I have had their Neil Merrill flex tree in the past for a different horse.

I wish more makers used bare trees for fitting.  Coats, Stoney and Three Forks does for sure.  I took my mare into Teskeys for a fitting and none of their saddles fit great - but I was having to guess with all the leather skirting and fluffy fleece.

I became saddle poor with my previous barrel horse that was narrow, high-withered where I tried over 60 kinds of saddles on him- now I'm having to go the completely opposite direction!  Actually stopped riding her for 6 months because I couldn't lope a circle w/o saddle sliding to the side.
