Veteran Posts: 151 Location: MO	I recently purchased a Circle Y Bob Marshall barrel saddle for a hard to fit mare I have and, while I am very happy with the way it fits her (no dry spots or ruffled hair YAY!) she is very sensitive to my seat and is a little hesitant to round her back and truly collect ad get in the bridle, especially at a trot. I have found no palpable soreness over her back as of yet, but would like to know what pads everyone has had the best luck with using these saddles. I am currently using a 1" felt pad but I am concerned that when she rounds her back with this pad that he may be getting spine contact, this the hesitation to collect for me. Again, I can't palpate soreness at this time, but I have 4 rides in it so far an want to make sure I am using the right equipment. Thanks!

	The thinner the pad the better luck I have had!! 1/2 5 star pad and thin line pads I like. I only use 1/2in pad with my bob Marshall and Tammy Fischer saddles.

	I like my Saddleright pads the best of all I have tried with my Bob Marshall saddles.

Veteran Posts: 151 Location: MO	goldmineranch - 2014-03-23 1:32 PM I like my Saddleright pads the best of all I have tried with my Bob Marshall saddles. The saddleright pads are really thin, right? Do you think they would give enough spine clearance for a horse that is not super round backed? This horse has moderate withers with a broad shoulder and is moderately filled out begin her withers. I would call her average breadth over her back. Thanks!

The negative talk I have heard about these saddles seems to stem from sore backs, but any saddle will sore them if you don't use a properly fitting pad with it.

	Ours are all pretty round in the back and not a lot for withers so I am not sure about how they would work on your horse. I know there are a lot of others on here who use Saddleright pads with their Bob Marshalls so maybe someone else has experience with a horse shaped like yours.
