Hi
I’ve loved riding all terrains with a Silhouette dressage saddle for last 5 years, which at the time was the only saddle I could find to fit HW cob. We’ve now found that the saddle has a very twisted tree(I’ve had it from new and looked after it) so currently considering repair but somewhat put off!
I was interested in Thorowgood/k&m cob saddle as lots with similar shapes swear by them but saddle fitter has said that due to big fat pads behind his shoulder, saddle couldn’t fit comfortably on his short back.
Surely there are others with fat pads, how do you deal with saddle fit issues please?
He’s already lost a lot of weight but while riding is compromised weight loss is slower.
As a last ditch attempt We are now riding in a Barefoot Treeless but that’s slipping backwards and I don’t feel too secure!
Any suggestions please?
