HELP!!! New saddle (HDR) will it fit my TB?

Question

I am looking to buy this new HDR saddle and want to know if it would fit my TB with high withers. I'm having a terrible time finding saddles to fit him. It is synthetic and looks really nice! Please tell me about it or suggest others that would fit him!!!

Thanks so much!!! Here's the link: http://www.pennystackoutlet.com/hdr-all-purpose-advantage-synthetic-saddle.html

Answer 1

get him professionally fitted

i had a hard time myself finding a saddle that would fit my 17 hh Clydesdale cross he was very big in the rear and low front  

(very downhill)

but i got him fitted and found a new saddle in no time

Answer 2

If he has really high withers you may want to try a cutback saddle. I have a skinny TB with moderatly high withers (not like some I have seen that are 3 inches higher than their backs) and I got a Barnsby Close Contact saddle that is cutback about 1-2 inches at the pommel. It is a medium tree, and the cutback keeps the saddle from sitting on his withers.

Answer 3

yeah my hdr fit my TB. but just to be sure buy a half pad to go with it. half pads make every saddle fit better.

Answer 4

amanda402..TB is thoroughbred.

My horse has high withers also and my saddle has a really wide tree, it tends to rub his withers so i would just make sure that you have plenty of padding over the withers, and when you get on make sure you can slide your fingers between the pads and saddle. If the saddle is right on the withers then it can make them really sore and rub saddle sores. I noticed that you ordered a saddle w/ a regular size tree so u will probibly be ok!

hope i helped!
