Finally found something for my short backed QH!!!

Finally found something for my short backed QH!!!
I highly recommend after my saddle search saga for my hard to fit gelding! My 14.3, 5yo quarter horse has a short back and extremely wide barrel. He had a pretty bad saddle sore on his right shoulder from his previous owner (😡) when I first got him and the scar tissue still bothers him today when a traditional saddle digs into it. I've been through countless saddles and he has always crow hopped or objected... today I got my bareback saddle pad and tried it moments later... he had no issues and was a complete gentleman! It was also super comfortable for me too. I am 5'9" and the 16/17 fit both me and my husband who is 6' tall.I would say if you're in between sizes, go to the 16/17 because I have always normally ridden a 15. I really hope this lasts, because this just made my whole year and I look forward to using it every day.
Thank you for your feedback

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Lightweight Close Contact Saddle - Comfy for Rider and Horse Good Value
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2020
The soft saddle arrived yesterday and I promptly went out and put it on my big , short backed Missouri Fox Trotter. I was tired of hefting a big heavy roper up on this 16+h beast. I also have a name brand endurance saddle with a tree for my THE made so exists similar feel. I had read the reviews and tacked him up with a tacky pad, used his Shoulder Relief Cinch and a breast collar. the saddle came with stirrups, latigo and off billet - no cinch as some had mentioned? I planned to use my own anyway. It didn't slip or slide - it fit his back well, really had a super close contact feel. There was a nice even sweat pattern on his back and he seemed quite comfortable. The stirrups leathers didn't bother me but when adjusting them I made sure buckle parts were rotated up under the skirt and they didn't cause an issue. The stirrups are plastic but sturdy and useable. I may exchange at some point for some of my English irons. It seems a very sturdy saddle and once I got seat centered, I was quite comfortable and did feel secure enough to use for regular trail riding. I'd have to give it a test on hills, obviously with the breast collar. I'm pretty sure I can just spray it off to clean. My only complaint is how it heats up - my behind was definitely sweaty. I'm wondering if there is a cover or liner that could help with that. I would definitely recommend this saddle to anyone wanting a comfortable, lightweight saddle that would probably fit every horse in your herd. Good value for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars DONT WAIT, DONT HESITATE- BUY THIS NOW, YOU WILL NOT WANT TO USE ANOTHER SADDLE
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2022
Wow, Mustang Manufacturing really broke through the market with the best comfortable, quality, cheaper saddle money can buy! I am glad I did my research, paid careful attention to the reviews, and decided to buy this saddle!!!

It is made of a material that’s best described as a very thick foam and wetsuit material. It is constructed in Vietnam, and NOTHING is made in China. It is well made and strong – it will last and not fail you!

This saddle is so multi-purpose usable its mind blowing! I can use it at 47 years old, 5ft 10in tall and 165 lbs. and so can my 8-year-old (see pics in our size difference!). My larger older kid tried it as well and everyone agrees – it is more comfortable than anything else we have ever used! We are using it on a portly 14.2 hand 27-year-old Rocky Mountain, and he absolutely LOVES how comfy it is and you can tell when ridding him. The stirrups, while plastic; are still very sturdy and comfy. I tried to substitute with my dressage stirrups/leathers and failed miserably – I almost lost my balance in a canter and fell, but it was my fault – I knew the rigging on this saddle would not work with my other stirrups, but I was too stubborn to not test it out LOL On a side note, I would not store this saddle in a very hot or humid environment as there is a lot of gluing involved at the seams and I could see it losing adhesion if left in an extreme climate. I expect this saddle to last 3-5 years with usage 3-4 times per week and I know this would be perfect for a long trail ride; will buy another when it is worn out….. Lastly – my kids that are under 100 pounds can ground mount without saddle slipping, I cannot – it slipped big time when I tried to ground mount! But when ridding it NEVER slipped

Anyhow, get this, you will NOT be disappointed

3.0 out of 5 stars So comfortable! Already ripped though!
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2022
I bought this recently as I usually use a bareback pad on my POA, but took a hard fall when it slipped. This is so light, and comfy, it feels like a normal saddle to sit in, yet sits more securely on him, as the cinch is not just a buckle; and it doesn't cut into his high withers either. Having a POA, it has been hard to find anything to fit him properly, and not cause him discomfort, so this is terrific! I can feel more secure now, and not have the added weight of a traditional saddle on him, or on me to have to lift :)
Update: saddle ripped in back after 2 uses
