I have had much success with hermes and butet on high withered tb types!
Most higher-withered horses are better served with a wool-flocked panel, often (as vxf111 stated) with a K-type panel and perhaps a full front gusset to help support the front of the saddle along a higher wither. Sometimes a deeper rear gusset is necessary to bring the rear of the saddle up high enough so it sits in correct balance. Some of the foam-paneled saddles offer modifications like these, but often the panels are too thin and require shim pads to make them sit properly.

My Bruno Delgrange Partition saddle fit my high withered OTTB mare beautifully (She is known as Mount Witherust!)[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=SquishTheBunny;7430283]I got a Bruno Delgrange, it fits all my thoroughbreds very well. If you go custom, they can add/remove foam/wool to your horses needs. I went for foam, as I find it better since the saddle is used on 3 thoroughbreds.
The regular tree was 4.5", I got a 4". There was no extra charge.[/QUOTE]
I went with Bruno Delgrange Athena for my TB. He’s not excessively high withered, but he’s got a typical TB back and is quite narrow. The only other saddle I had on him that worked was a Black Country.
I adore my BD and am saving to purchase another for my new mare.
I have a Voltaire for my high withered TBx and it fits her great. I would figure out what saddles you like and then have some reps come out.
IIRC the OP found a saddle already and it’s a Stubben.
