short 'dippy' backed cob - what dressage saddle?

[Oldred]

I always have trouble with my little 15 hand cob mare re saddles. She is about 18 years old and has a really short back that's a bit dipped. She has no wither and by the time a saddle is set behind her withers there's not a lot of space left! Most saddles are too straight in the tree and/or have projecting panels that dig into her loin.

Can any kind soul (cobs do dressage clique??) recommend a make of dressage saddle that might fit her?

Thanks ever so!

Why not try the barefoot treeless london dressage saddle? Really do fit anything!!! Surprisingly supportive and comfortable!

My cob is 16.2 and can only take a 17 inch saddle - he has got a bit more wither perhaps than your mare but does have an "armchair" back and I have found that a Barnsby fits him really well.

Thanks for both suggestions. Currently trying a Saddle Company saddle but just not sure. Its a nightmare. Will look into both saddles suggested.
