[QUOTE="D.R. Cattle, post: 234679, member: 19"] "Full Quarter Horse Bars" are for the big mutton backed bulldog horses. 99% of horses are not like that. Even most bred up Quarter Horses use "standard bars." For an even narrower fit like lanky running horses go with "Semi Quarter Horse Bars." I have a dang nice full figured quarter horse with big sores on his back from running full bars on him. Had to break a colt just to have another using horse while he heals. If you're not careful you can break a horses heart by making his workouts painful. Saddle fit is very important. Don't build him up with pads. Just get a good fitting saddle. If you ride regularly or professionally a good saddle is $1500 or more. If only occasionally, get a good pad and a cheaper saddle will do, just make sure it's the right tree for your lad. [/QUOTE]
