Bridging

Bought a small pad that is to fill the gap just behind the whithers.  It was recommended after sending some pictures to customer service.  It is memory foam covered with tacky-tack.  If this works as intended, the high pressure points due to the bridging will be minimized, resulting in a more comfortable horse and more stable saddle.

There's supposed to be 3 gated horses arriving at the stable where we board our horse this coming week.  The property owners son-in-law and the Boss are hoping 2 will be suitable for them.

Assuming we end up with another horse we'll be saddle shopping again.  But for which horse?  That depends on how the existing saddle fits each.
