Veteran Posts: 226 Location: Middle Tennessee	Is there a temporary fix for a gullet that is too small? I am ordering a new saddle, but until then I only have this one to ride in. Is there anything I cn do to make it fit better/more comfortable for my horses?

This is not a fix for a to narrow saddle, but i would go with a thiner pad, like a 3/4 or a 1/2 inch for now untill your new saddle gets here. Edited by Southtxponygirl 2014-07-17 2:17 PM

I Chore in Chucks Posts: 2882 Location: MD	someone here said something that makes a lot of sense, "You wouldn't put on an extra pair of socks if your shoes were too small, would ya(in reference to saddle fit)?" bareback or a thinner pad.

Rad Dork Posts: 5218 Location: Oklahoma	A 1/2 pad will help some, but your best bet is probably to just ride bareback or lunge him to keep him from getting too fresh.
