Saddles that fit high withered ( part shark !!) horse

[angharadjones24]

I have a very high withered horse . It's a running joke that he is part shark as its more a fin ! Any recommendations so I know which saddler to get out who sells suggested brands.
So far-
Thorowgood t4 high wither - no good not high withered enough
Wintec jump saddle - no good
John whitaker professional - no good
Prestige Meredith - no good
Stubben Siegfried - no good

Albion kontrol was fab until he changed shape !

Anyone know what fairfax saddles fit like on a high wither ?

Fairfax is the same company as Kent & Master and Thorowgood.
So wont me much use to you.

I too feel your pain & had a half shark, also had a very cold back.
He had (is now retired) a SC Custom made with enormous panels to support the front, he went from XNarrow to Medium in 19 months.
Its the reason why i became a fitter, i can not rate them highly enough.

Wondered if the block system of the fairfax would help as he has dips either side of the wither. What about saddle company ? ( seen your signature)

I know he hates kent and masters which is a shame as I love the dressage s saddle.

My half shark is also very cold backed and very sensitive on wither area. I normally wears lots of dead sheep to help .
