Frog I read your post awhile ago, but then it just disappeared:)
I just find it hard to believe that this saddle could be to small for him, even with the pads. I've always thought he was narrower then Belle, and it was built for her.
I'm taking him to the ranch tonight (saddle shop), and the saddle guy is going to look at it. So I guess no riding this morning, altho it is now afternoon, I just noticed:)
I've discovered a new solitare type game that is mind numbing....and I've been in a coma all morning moving cards around waiting on the call:) Time to get up and do something.

Well, if it's too wide for him, it would also sit wrong on him and sore him.... All of them have different backs, and horses are so stoic it's sometimes hard to tell if it's got a comfortable fit. Good luck with the saddle guy, hope he can get you a good fit.
