 What is a good saddle for WIDE shoulders, full back with a flare? He drops back behind his shoulders so all of my saddles end up in the dip. He is currently in a FQH bar saddle. Tried a Biofit, Corrector, Pocket pad, 5 star, etc and the saddle still slides back in the dip. Thanks

Caldwell makes an ultra racket which has an 8" gullet and bars that flare out more than other trees.

Do yoy have a before pic and after pic. A lot of saddles are made not to be on top of the withers. And some times the guy that made my saddle has helped people saddle fit with a double rigging allowing for different placement of the girth.

 Ditto on the Caldwell Ultra Rocket.

A lot of people claim it doesn't that work, but I've seen it in my horse. I love my crown c. I need to put a picture story together but we've gone from a 7" to a 9.5" gullet since April. The top line that this horse has developed and the amount that the dip has filled in is crazy! We've got 1 shim on the 9.5" now but I think soon we'll be out of it and this saddle will probably, hopefully, be his last.

Cactus Charmayne James.  Just because it has FQHB or a certain gullet measurement it all depends on the flare of the bars.  CJ saddles have 7" gullet but a lot of flare.

My reg tree Pozzi fits my wide shoulder/flare horses great. They will send you a demo for $150 (shipping cost) I believe. Double J was great to work with too!

 Cactus Charmayne saddles have a lot of flare to the bars. My record breakers are 7inch gullet and very flared bars for room on big shoulders
