Can someone recommend a saddle pad that will fit an Abetta Serenity Endurance? Most of the pads I’ve found online are way too big for my mare. She has a short back and the pads extend over her butt.
Thanks!
When I had that type of saddle I used a Reinsman contoured (rounded edges also) trail pad under it. On a 14 hand pony, it wasn’t too big. Good Luck!

Skito will make you a custom pad, and I don’t think they charge extra for the custom part. If you tell them what type of saddle you have and that you have a short backed horse, Tom at Skito can get you the right pad. They have all the saddle pad patterns for different saddles, I think.
Also, a woolback pad might work well for you. My woolback isn’t too long.
Wool Back is what my gal pal uses with her Abetta, and her new spec saddle.
Like this one?

That’s what I have.
Thanks, it looks like it will work. 
Measure your saddle carefully – if that one is too long, they can make it shorter for only a little extra $$. I recently got that pad from Long Riders Gear, and I ordered it to be 23" along the spine instead of 27".
Good to know. Thanks.
Got Gait (me too), (I am riding a rocky these days)
Yes, that is the pad.
I ride my Solstice with a woolback. She is the lady who suggested, and I did, and never looked back. They last forever. Mine does have girth straps for my girth. Maybe because mine is an AP type. I do not think she ordered one specially made. IOW what they have on their sizes worked fine.

Long Riders Gear can get you whatever options you need – high wither, 1/2" vs 1" wool, velcro for inserts, girth straps, etc. If you don’t see the options you need on the product page, try emailing them directly. They’re super helpful.
