Elite Veteran Posts: 747	I ham having a terrible time finding a saddle for my 14.1hh, short backed, broad shouldered, flat backed mare that has very little wither. She has broad shoulders and a back so flat that water pools on it. She's literally built like a tank. I'm having a terrible time finding a saddle that won't roll on her. Any suggestions?

For what it's worth, I posted a picture of a horse's back that was fit for a 10.5" and was built very much how you describe on this thread. You have to scroll down for my reply and it's the last picture in the series I posted. Water pooled in her back too. Hopefully this will help. http://forums.barrelhorseworld.com/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=443963&posts=10&start=1 Edited by BBKitamanCutter 2014-01-17 9:42 PM
