How will this saddle work with a horse with shark fin withers?

Because it is synthetic leather it is less stiff and should conform easier to your horses shape. My horse just loves it because it is lighter, softer, and forms to his shape alot better then a real leather one.

I have the same issue with my gelding, it fits and feels better than a saddle with a tree would (unless you get one custom) and is very comfortable. I will say that I learned to ride bareback so treeless was an easy transition, if you rely on the tree or stirrups to stay on then the saddle may roll. You also can't use it to mount from the ground (more rolling). Hope this helped.

It works better than I expected for our impossible to fit high-withered icey. We have 3x as much $$ as the cost of this saddle sunk into the padding and girth system, tho. A Dixie Midnight, skito, Ovation girth, and breastcollar keeps it from slipping. The way the spine channel is cut, without the wither arch piece it rides down hill on a high-withered equine. This is not a problem with the padding I have. Get a size larger than you expect. My kids are riding in a 16. I can ride in it, but a 17 would be better for my horse.

I have a thoroughbred with a "shark fin wither", I use a treeless saddle pad underneath it and have not had any issues. After many rides the saddle is becoming shaped better for her wither and fits better and better the more I use it.

Not sure what a side saddle is, but this scabbard has plenty of room for accessories that make it wider. If you plan to make it longer for any reason I would not get it.

They have two 'D' rings near top that can be clipped (not included) or tied to the saddle. If you desire, additional rings appear to be easy to attach at different points on the material but it secured well enough with the two I didn't think them necessary. I have a horse with a rocking horse canter so can't say how they might 'bounce' about at this gait on other horses but his trot is similar to other breeds and they stayed in place and sat quietly.

I don't believe so, because the edges would extend over the edges of the jack saddle. You may want to investigate the 3 inch size which is also available from Amazon.com

There is a screwed closed spot under the horses chin. We found the screw a little hard to remove. You'll need a small Phillips head screwdriver and some patience. Rnjoy

Unfortunately I don't have direct experience with horses using this tool. I have had riding horses in the past and my guess is it would but the tool itself may not stand up to the coarseness and texture. Might work for forelock and mane where the hair is shorter than as with tails.

We have 3 of these saddles and they fit the 3 very different size gaited horses we have. The Rocky Mountain horses and the Appalachian singlefooter are wide stocky horses and there is no pinching. I use it sometimes on a smaller Tennessee Walker and it slips a little because she is narrow in the withers. I am at work so I can't give you the gullet width. My saddles are great for the price. I just changed out the rigging to nylon because the leather is very thick and changed the stirrups to Endurance. I've had the saddles for over 3 years and still in good shape. No back issues with horses either.

It is made to go in the slot, below the saddle. The 6 little bumps need to line up with the strings as much as possible. I hope that this helps

If the sand is very loose then most likely not. It may work as long as the unit does not have to drag a lot of hose and the sand directly under the unit is more compact then the rest of the riding arena. I am assuming the arena is level as an arena should be.

I have Rusty's steel fenders and i made it work but i only used the top mounting bolts. I was able to overlap the snorkel and use it but your flares bulge different. I would see if they wld send u a template for u to try before u made the investment.

My hunch is no. It involves drilling a couple of holes and probably sanding the saddle. I took mine to a professional and don't regret the decision.

I'm not sure but I have a quarter horse, who wears horse size. And I had to tighten it down to where there was only one more adjustment on both sides. and in the last hole on the under side, leaving no room to tighten. I hope that's helpful

As long as the width of the saddle is at least 3/32", it will fit. You'll need to measure the saddle height in the bridge, then install the pickup. remeasure and remove material from the saddle to match the original height. Otherwise it will change your string height. I would be tempted to replace the saddle with bone simply because it's an easier material to sand/file than brass.

I never used an Easyboot for a horse with shoes on. I would call the company and ask them. My purpose was to use them in place of shoes entirely or to compensate for one lost shoe on the trail.

I don't know what a horse collar hame is; but I have used the cane handle. It fits on a cane that is about 3/4" in diameter. The handle is a bit curved; so one needs to curve the wooden cane to conform to the shape of the handle. If the hane is that part in the middle of a western saddle that some people call the pommel, I don't think this thing would work. The top is a good bit smaller than most of the pommel's I have seen and the other end is a rounded but reasonably sharp metal piece that might dig into the horse.

I have a older 7hp horse and they fit fine however they were a little bit smaller than the ones I removed .they still did the job

I've never bought a saddle that wouldn't fit a seat post but I'm not sure about this one and your specific post. Your bike shop should be able to tell you or contact the manufacturer. Sorry I'm not much help!
