Opinions on saddle Fit

[Em123]

I know it's hard to tell from pics but please can I have a general, yes or no because...

Far too small I'd say.

The tree looks too curved to me. I'm going with "no".

I think with rider weight on it will be far to tight on the shoulders.

the back pannels also look a bit too banana shaped for the back ...may cause lifting and smacking back down on your horses back.

Imho no, it dosent fit very well, the back of saddle is not actually in contact with back and would probably be better with a flatter tree. It also looks as though would be pressing on shoulder With a rider on board

Thank you
Saddle shopping again!

why dont you just get a saddle fitter out to tell you. i would say no too, wrong shaped tree, too close to withers and too much off the back at back.

 

[AmyMay]

Was just about to mention a saddler?

100% no!! The panels/tree is completely wrong for the horse. You need a saddle fitter - not just go out and buy saddles to see that they don't fit.

I didn't just go buy a saddle to see if it fits. I'm not stupid.
I all ready owned this saddle for one of my other horses, was just trying it on him. My mum usually fits my saddles for me, she wasn't around and I'm an impatient cow so took pics to ask on here!

Definately doesnt fit however horse looks very fat to me (sorry, ) so if you buy a saddle that fits him now it mightnt neccesarily fit in a few weeks when he is back in work properly

 

[Em123]

Yes he is a fat ****! Don't worry he is on a diet!

Yep, too curvy in the tree and the panel, flocked panels allow the fit to be flattened some, but maybe not enough, foam panels obviously are more limited.
