Independent Cuss Posts: 3978 Location: Dearing, GA	I know, I know, another post about sweat patterns. Can y'all check these out? My whole hand fits inside these dry spots. I've been riding in a treeless saddle, but it does not give me enough wither clearance. My horse is NOT in shape right now, so I'd hate to purchase a new saddle until he gets his body back, but I do have access to this saddle for a while. Please tell me what you think.

I think we all can get so wrapped up in these saddles etc. if your horse doesn't get a sore back I wouldn't worry about it. So I'm thinking if it ain't broke don't fix it. I will just have to keep an eye on his sweat patterns as he gets back into shape. I'd like to have him fitted for a saddle bUT I think it would be pointless while he's still out of shape. It was recommended to me to buy a saddle too big and just shim until he can fit into it but that seems awfully risky.
