Hi
I've just got a treeless saddle, only to be used for hacking on a very wide, flat backed cob. I've never ridden in a treeless before and I've noticed that although it fits width ways, there is hardly any space above the horse's wither. Does that matter? It's a very soft flexible saddle, so it's not going to be the same sort of pressure a treed saddle would give if it fitted like that - but I'm just not sure what is considered acceptable and what isn't with a treeless.
Any advice much appreciated!
