My 19 yr old is in semi retirement. His once table-top back has now sunk a little, now it's not bad and actually looks like most normal horses now! I had a saddle made to measure when he was younger, and had it checked recently. The saddler said it was 'bridging', so contact at the front and back, but where he dropped away there was no/little contact.
She said the saddle could not be altered as there wasn't enough room in the panel to stuff it further, and suggested either a sway-back pad, or an adjustable one, apparently WOW make one.
Has anyone used a pad like this, or have any other suggestions, as the WOW pad looks a bit expensive!
I don't mind spending if it works though, I want my lad to be comfy, aim is to get him out 2 - 3 times a week for a slow hack, less than an hour.
Any feedback/ideas?
