[QUOTE="D.R. Cattle, post: 606400, member: 19"] Most of the time when they don't fit right, the withers are afffected. I usually lay my hand over the withers and squeeze. If he's sore on either side you'll notice a reaction to the squeeze. Many a working ranch horse has had his withers overdone; sometimes noted by a bleach white patch of hair. Takes a pretty good saddle and pad NOT to hurt a horse if you put a full days work them. I haven't mastered the art of looking at a saddle and telling if it will fit right or not. I hired a custom maker to build me one. Cost me a bunch but I ride it every day and it's worth every penny. Haven't skinned a horse yet with it. [/QUOTE]
