How are we to know if it's normal soreness or bad news soreness? Don't you wish they could talk to us??? That would make things so much easier! I wish you could try a treeless saddle, but the good ones are so expensive!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3646588157055965553.post-58128433622142170712012-08-12T08:08:18.020-07:002012-08-12T08:08:18.020-07:00Have you tried a shim saddle pad?

My cob mare had wonky shoulders and i ended up with a thorowgood t4 synthetic saddle (figuring the less weight the better) in their cob shape with a prolite shim pad underneath, with more padding on her weaker side. they do a dressage saddle designed for cob shapes too, and if you are only after a leather saddle 'kent and masters' are built around the same tree. <br /><br />I found that the cob shaped tree allows much more room for the shoulder to move. I even have one on my hannoverian who has big shoulders.ellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3646588157055965553.post-84801419539837093972012-07-01T13:15:36.972-07:002012-07-01T13:15:36.972-07:00It is possible that the soreness is more to do wit...It is possible that the soreness is more to do with her being reintroduced to ridden work after a lengthy time off. If the physio hadn't been due to see her anyway, it might have gone unnoticed and resolved as her back muscles strengthen again. I understand your frustration though, you are doing your very best to help her, but it's tiring trying to think everything through and work out if it's all related or linked and to try and find solutions. She is getting the best foundation to strengthen her though with all the long reining you are doing. Hopefully the saddler will be able to suggest something for you.
