In response to your message;  I had an ex-racehorse off of the track who's left 
shoulder was bigger than the right, it was from running down the track to the 
left, more use of the left lead than the right.  He prefered to canter in the 
left lead, I spent a couple of years teaching him to bend to the right & to use 
his right lead more, it then build up the right to match the left, he can 
counter canter now too.   If the shoulder is built up too much you might need 
to shim up the smaller side of the saddle to make it fit, mine wasn't that bad, 
I never had to use shims.  Couldn't hurt to have a Chiro look at it too.

===========================================================Arabians were bred 
for years primarily as a war horse and those
requirements are similar to what we do today with endurance riding.
