Hi. I am after some more saddle advice. I have now had my horse a year
My 15.3 ISH is very short backed. I am 5'7. 12.5 stone. Very top (boob!) heavy. Saddle fitter has put us in a Kent and Masters 17" compact GP saying that is as long as we can go.
He has a big left shoulder and I am pitching to the right and twisting in my lower back. Obviously not great. This is after saddle fitter has been. It felt better at the time but not after long hacks.
I have a solutions (£££££!!) fitter coming on Friday.
Just wondered if anyone has any thoughts so I can be more informed going forwards. I have tried to get a good fitter but for everyone who praises someone there are more who don't. We are in Bristol.
Horse is changing all the time. I will attach photos. He still needs to put on lots of the right muscle. We are working on it.
