Expert Posts: 1549 Location: Southwest Louisiana	Just starting riding a new horse. The only saddle I have has semi-qh bars. Fit my last horse just fine. This horse is built like a tank and an elephant cross. His back is wide and he has very low withers. The saddle left dry spots right on each side of his withers. I have a 5-star pad and I think it's 3/4". I think I remember someone mentioning a tool to measure the back, and then the company can recommend saddle makers/brands that'll fit best. Or does anyone know of the best type of saddle for a horse with this kind of back?

Used to be called Lisa Lockhart (she moved to Martin), so now they call it “badlands “. Kelly Kaminski line has it too. Just bought a regular for my other horse and I love love it! But he’s built differently so the wide was too wide for him.

The One Posts: 7997 Location: South Georgia	Agree with the Pozzi wide. It is the widest wide saddle I've purchased. I really like it.
