Hi everyone, I have a rather rotund cob (at the best of times) but having had lots of time off recently hes put on even more weight. When I tacked him up to ride the other day I noticed that his saddle didnt sit the same as it used to. He put his head down to cheekily graze and the saddle was lifting slightly at the back. He wears a breast plate and I wasn't sure if this was contributing to the lifting action? Hes flat backed and has no withers at all I know cobs change in size quite alot and I'm sure now that hes back in work his figure will come back but what I want to know is am I going to be causing any damage if I ride him with his saddle like this? He has a Wintec Cair extra wide fit saddle. I'm considering going treeless but currently dont have the funds to invest in a new saddle any help or advice would be much appreciated.
