Can anyone tell me if this saddle fits? The pad is 7/8 thick also and a 7' gullet. The back part is what worries me. Should i buy a different pad? If so what thickness? Any advice is appreciated!

What does the fleece look like under the saddle? Something looks weird on the front, like the fleece stops.

 

If you set the saddle on the horse's back without the pad, so you feel any tight spots as you run your hand along the shoulder?

It doesn't look to be a horrible fit by any means but I'd like to see it WITHOUT the pad.

 

Can you ride in the saddle?

I would be curious if the back comes up when you cinch it up and/or curious of the sweat marks.

I'm no expert--I'm having saddle fitting problems myself. But it looks like it's bracing. Tight on the front and the skirt is digging into his loins.

I just dont like the way this saddle looks period. The fleece really messes with the way the saddle looks and should fit while sitting on your horse, looks like its missing some fleece or its really compressed where its needed the most and the skirt is to long, I dont like the skirt touching the hip, when you do circles the skirt will be rubbing the hips. I dont like that teepee look, looks perched in the back. 

Sorry

First pic looks like it's too far back on horse. Think of the tent in the back as "spine relief." B*tches be paying big money for that these days. ?? Also, don't be married to that 5 Star. Try some other pads.
