boon Posts: 3	I am looking for some insight on saddle fit for my mare. She is a high withered TB and my FQHB Tex Tan has stopped fitting her as well as it used to. My question is, is this something I can shim for the time being until I can save up more money to buy something that actually fits? And what are quality saddles with semi-QH bars that are out there? I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures to show the fit.

They are made for this type of horse, but have enough bar flare to fit a wider horse as well. Honestly the best fitting saddle I've seen. They have a 6.75" gullet. You can find used ones reasonable, just size down your seat. Circle y provens also seemed to fit higher withered and sway backed horses well. They have a lot of rock to the tree. You could pick one of these up for a very reasonable price.
