    Treeless saddle fitting?

    Pony needs a new saddle, he’s seriously lacking top line (prominent dips either side of his withers too) with very high withers. We don’t expect him to be able to build up too much muscle over his top line now because he has cushings. Just want him to be comfortable for hacking and light...
