[RC] Help! Has anyone had this happen to their horse? - maryI am trying to get a
new saddle, but I am afraid to make a choice. Please take a look at this
picture of Annie's back.

The white hairs are so different from what you usually get if a saddle is
not fitting. (It is almost like it is a ghost image of my thighs and
butt) I only rode her for 3 month after getting her before the problems
showed up. I first used an Ansur and then the Bob Marshall.
Both saddles showed a somewhat dry-ruffed up area right where the white
hairs are, I first started with the Ansur and then moved on to the Bob
Marshall which also ended up rubbing hair off on this area up on the side of her
spine. I used the Skito Pads made for these specific saddles and she was
never sore to the touch - even after the CTR and the vet checked her. I am
not a light weight and I weighed about 155 when this happened. The white
hairs came in with her winter coat. Does anyone have any
suggestions. She does have a very straight back, with a prominent spine.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the
help!
Mary
