Hello, I've often read posts and gratefully also taken up peoples views and opinions so about time I posted my own!

I have a TB x Trakenher who (like all youngsters) has changed shape. I've been lucky enough to have her saddle adjusted until now but she has now widened in the twist, but not behind her shoulder. Has anyone come across this as being typical of her breeding and what saddles do people use? My saddler tried every saddle in the Ideal range yesterday, but sadly nothing fitted her well enough. If it fitted in the twist, then the tree angle was too wide to sit behind her shoulder - so a Susannah tree front but an Apollo in the twist!
Any suggestions?

Have you tried an Owen panel? This sits behind the shoulders. Mine is a Humphries and Swain but I think Saddle Company saddles are the same as I have a SC dressage saddle that is the same.

Thank you ? I’ve not heard of the Owen panel. She is currently in a Saddle Company saddle. I love it and have been lucky with it so far but struggling with bridging.
