Unable to Live Without Chocolate or Coffee Posts: 1849	i tried out a ranch horse Wednesday and used my saddle and pad and after the ride there was a big dry spot on the right but not the left, sort of behind the shoulder area. Also a few Ruffled hairs on each side of his spine in the middle of his back. The saddle felt a bit wide for him, it sat a little low I thought. He's a big lanky paint but not real wide or round. Good withers and good back. I was using a Martin all around and 1" wool pad. Any ideas? I want to buy him but might do a vet check first. Even though I "know" the owners.

No matter how well you know and trust the seller, if they aren't aware he has an issue then how can you know? Sometimes that $100+ can save you thousands in the long run. Just my 2 cents from personal experience. Use a vet that has no connections to the seller.

The 2 times I didn't do it I regretted it and paid for it dozens of times over.
