Elite Veteran Posts: 1062 Location: Probably On the Road to the Next Barrel Race!	Bought a race bred gelding to train for barrels, high withered...too high for my husband's saddle to fit well, hits him on withers, even with a good pad. I've heard of saddle shims...it would be a temporary fix, as we plan to sell him after 120-160 days, but do they work? and what brand, where to buy? other ideas?

More bootie than waist! Posts: 18425 Location: Riding Crackhead.	I bought the set of 2 from Martin/Classic Equine. In reality you could use a small hand towel folded or a piece of sheepskin.
