I always have someone check mine, but over the years have two types onf opinion.

One that a saddle can be wider, closer to the wither and just padded up

and another where the saddle should sit nice and high above the wither (the one i thought should be correct)

Now obviously thats a generalised statement as there are other issues when fitting, but when I sit my saddle on my horse, how much space should there be either side of the spine , I know you should be able to see daylight all the way along height wise but what about width wise.

Not sure if that makes sense, apologies if it doesnt
