if you do the padding it cant be ON the wither, but on each side to lift things OFF the wither. If you pad all the way across what happens is your weight in the saddle will pull everything down and pull the pad down tighter across the withers. Thats why a horse like this cant wear a wide tree, cause it rests right on the withers. but better to have a wide tree or treeless padded up on either side of the withers than a too narrow tree leaving white spots I think!! I tried my bona allen on jaspar with the reverse lollipop and that worked but I like the sensation because it is so much lighter so I am fiddling with things to make it work. Will let you know what i find and please let me know! This is an aggravation! and so many walking horses and thoroughbreds have this withers conformation... you would think they would have figured something out for them saddle wise by now!
