i really dont get how this saddle can fit all horses! surely the riders weight pushes it on to its withers? if it changes from a thoroughbred to a cob?:confused:

can someone tell me how it works and if you have one any piccies?:)

sorry if this is a silly question!!:o

oh nearly forgot link lol!!:p

not experienced this saddle, but with treeless the weight is under the seat,as there is no hard part in the pommel it wont push down on the wither:)

Just to add that with a high withered horses and this saddle you would probably need extra pads to lift it up a bit

oh right so can treeless saddles be lower on the pommel than treed saddles?:)

yea, you only need 1-2 fingers of clearance with a treeless saddle.
