Cantle
  Tthe curved arch at the back of a saddle. The cantle has been at time built up to give support and protection to the ride.

In Western the term "high-backed saddle" refers to the cantle design used in the saddletree. A higher-backed saddle can seem snugger in fit than a low one, given the seat measurement, simply because it offers more support in a higher position on the rider's back. This can come at a loss of flexibility for the rider so a lower cantle is often found in a roping saddle or when a quick dismount is needed such as in steer wrestling.
