I have a horse that has semi high withers and narrow shoulders and I cant seem to find the right saddles so I thought I would try a english style treeless saddle that would form his back shape. Western saddles are uncomfortable for me so I thought by getting one of these saddles the ride would be comfortable for not only me but my horse to. But when I checked out some websites selling the saddle I learned that it is not to be used for horses with high withers. But other websites state the opposite. So my question is should I buy a treeless saddles and hope that it would work perfectly?? Or buy an english saddle that hopefully would fit properly and give me the comfortable ride that my horse and I are longing for.

  1. In my opinion I think a saddle ,,With  atree is better

    why !!

    well most riders do not sit proper,,, and in time you will make sores on the horse's back ,, or make him very muscle sore

    It's hard to explain !!!

    But get a good one that makes you sit right !!

    just like a bit,,, make sure it is balanced right ,,


  2. Get a piece of bendable wire and place it where the saddle tree would be placed on your horse's withers. Then mold the wire to the shape of your horses withers and take that to every tack shop you can find until you find the best fitting saddle. You can also use spacers such as padding and pads they sell for this purpose.

  3. well saddles cant really shape a horses back, u will just have to find a saddle for horses with high withers. treeless is usually the best saddle out there for any horse, for example i barrel race and have a Bob Marshall Treeless Saddle and my horse had never had a problem with his back. so i would say yes buy the english saddle cause u can never go wrong with a treeless
