I has a Sydney saddleworks Aussie style saddle that I'm trying to make work on an apaloosa and I'm having a bit of a fit issue.
I talked to a horse trainer in Las Cruces and she said the withers were too high for the saddle I have.
It wasn't tailored for the horse, it's a second hand saddle my uncle gave me to start out with. The last horse it was used on was a strawberry roan that had higher withers than said appie. The horse showed no signs of being uncomfortable with the saddle.
I was using a normal Western style saddle blanket when we mounted the saddle on the appie. If we used a pad with an indent would this resolve the issue, or do I need to just give up on hopes that this thing will work?
I really want to use it, and this appie isn't getting any saddle time. It's getting pushed to the wayside by a paint and a dark bay.
This horse has a heart like a puppy and was well trained for trail riding and the like. It breaks my heart to see him sitting in a round pen all day while the other two get to travel and go to cowboy mounted shooting events.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
