hi everyone, this is my first posting and it would mean alot to me to hear the opinions of my fellow horse lovers... i have a 5 yr.old 16.1 hh thoroughbred that i currently ride with a barrel saddle, that i absolutley love i might add... this saddle fit fine when i first bought it 10 mnths ago but that's when "JD" was underweight and out of shape.... now, he's quite "BUFF", and when i ride, especially at the canter, the saddle becomes quite snug on his withers, making him irritable and intices him to do a couple of bucks in the beginning... and trying to run off with me... since a new saddle right now is out of the picture, i was told to get a builtup cutback pad to give the saddle a lift off his withers... i understand that these two pads i mentioned are supposed to be quite good ... any opinions? looking forward to hearing from all of u
