if it sits high in front it generally means that it is too tight at the front........

I dont personally like Albions, but regardless, I dont think the tree fits cobs very well. They are designed for horses with a bit of a wither.
If it is sitting too high in front, it is definitely too narrow. It will be placing pressure points on her back and will be putting too much pressure in the cantle.
You would be better off getting a saddler to bring a range of saddles for you to try, so that you can fnd the one that fits your cob the best. Otherwise you could look into an adjustable saddle (such as a Saddle Company or Kieffer) but again it is preferable to have a fitter to come out and check that it fits correctly. Otherwise you could end up with a horse with a knackered back and a useless saddle.
