Saddle fittings for a TB

[Parkranger]

The fitter measured Ty up today and said that he's a MW - how the hell can a TB be that wide? apparently he's got big shoulders even though the rest of him is more TB like.

Me thinks he has a touch of ID in him (or camel)!!!

my tb mare was wide, she didnt look it, but was fitted with a wide saddle

My tb gelding is a wide, he's very wide across his shoulders too

pain in the a$$ trying to find a saddle that will fit him comfortably.

 

[Parkranger]

Oh not just my boy - I suppose they are bred to have powerful shoulders........

My friends TB is MW, but my cob is only a M.

mines only a mini narrow.... wish he was a wide, his saddle might not be as uncomfy

Mine is TBxID (but looks like a TB) so needs something like a warmblood saddle - medium but cut to accomodate a wither.

 

[MagicMelon]

Mine is a MW too and he is so bloody narrow I was shocked!

 

[Parkranger]

weird isn't it - I'd always think that a wm would be wider than a TB....I suppose a WMs built to be stronger in the arse and a TB in the shoulder......

Interesting!

Anyways, just managed to get a brand new Barnsby GP, Barnsby comfort Bridle and running martingale for £750!!

My boy whilst being fairly substantial for a TB is by no means wide to sit on, yet his Albion SLK is a medium wide. Must be because of the shoulders, as already suggested
