I have a three year old appy filly. My courbette saddle, when put on her, slants terribly down hill. I can use a wither builder but it might not build it up enough. I have looked at treeless but am a little worried. Wouldn't you just be "bouncing" on thier spine? Isn't that why saddles have gullets? I can't find any treeless that do. What is the difference between a bareback pad and a treeless? I know if you ride bareback to much your horse will get a sore back. Couldn't it be the same with a treeless? She has a very short back and is still growing and changing. Anyone have a saddle with CAIR panils and gullet change? How well does that work?
I just figured Icelandics are very hard to fit horses and thought you guys would have a lot of experience with saddle problems. JR PS. My courbette has a flex tree. It fits my Icelandic-look-a-like.
