Just as the title says. I dropped several grand a few years ago for a fancy expensive saddle that of course he hates. Any suggestions for brands/saddle models? He is a size narrow, slab sided and hates anything with shoulder relief, and has a huge wither.
CWD was a no. So was devocoux (current saddle) Pessoa isn’t high enough in the wither. Tried a stubben but the newer models don’t seem to be high enough in the wither either.
I have tried a few other brands here and there which I have forgotten.
County wirh skid row panels?

I have a slab sided, large withered OTTB and after going through half a dozen saddles a County with Skid Row panels was the best fit by far. I ended up buying a demo off my local fitter for pretty cheap. I know they aren’t trendy but I absolutely love my county, great balance and quality.

Need pictures before I could really recommend anything. Too many other factors.
I’ll throw this out there, our horse is a big warmblood but very narrow and definitely slab sided. He also has a huge wither, both in height and width. I tried fitters from all the french brands and they all said he’s a custom saddle horse. One last ditch effort, I met with the Delgrange rep who said their saddles fit 8 out of 10 horses right out of the box. I said “well good luck with this one!”, and led her to my horse. Wouldn’t you know, it fit him, just a standard Delgrange Partition on the medium/wide standard tree. Not saying it will fit yours, but worth a try!
