Gosh, I didn't realise HHO had so many sadle fitting experts!!!
Personally, I'd be raiding hte issue with the qualified saddle fitter who fitted the saddle in the first place. I assume you rode in it to begin with??? And as you had a week to ride in it again have plenty of time to try it out and go back to them with your concerns?!?
I really can't see how taking a couple of photos and posting them online for armchair experts to comment on can be the best way forwards???
Given the number of useless, rip-off, lying qualified saddle fitters in the world, I think asking for opinions in a forum is often the best way forward tbh. Trusting them is stupid because the qualification counts for absolutely nothing. Its a worse situation than with vets and farriers, whom while we, as owners, have to take some responsibility for our horse's treatment, at least have high industry standards these days. All sorts of blind lunatics seem to be saddle fitters IME. I'm not saying that's the case here, all I can see is a saddle that's not sitting in quite the right place that could do with being a bit wider, but I'm miffed at being told our opinions don't count because we're not trained saddlers. Many saddle fitters, I'd go so far as to say most of them, are rubbish at saddle fitting!
