Custom Shim Pad for a wide western saddle for a not-too-wide mule. Without the shims, the saddle sits hard on each shoulder scapula at the front and hard on the center of the spine at the back.

This mule is built downhill.

This western saddle now sits level on top of the custom shim pad.

Custom shim pad to fit an XW Arab saddle to a Quarter Horse. This is a temporary pad and saddle for this horse which allows the horse to be ridden comfortably while the Owner shops for a new saddle.

This QH has a relatively flat back. This County dressage saddle was originally custom ordered for an Arab and has a lot of arc to the shape of the saddle tree. Without a custom pad, the saddle would sit like a rocking chair on top of the horse.

Bottom of saddle tree shown. Existing billet hangers are lowest ones attached to points of tree. New hangers installed are middle ones placing front billet behind the thigh block.

After: Girth now aligns properly for horse conformation. Shoulder is now free. Note the hole at the bottom of the thigh block where the old point billet was previously aligned.

In this monoflap saddle, the billets are passed through the center of the single flap. This photo shows the two billet hangers coming off the tree and entering the top of the flap. The rear hanger shown is standard from the factory, and the front hanger shown was installed at the new location behind the thigh block by Advanced Equine Saddle Fit.

This Foxtrotter has a short, sway back along with the gaited horse shoulder conformation making it a big challenge to find a western style saddle that will fit.

Custom shim pad to fill in behind the shoulder for a western gaited tree saddle.

Circle Y Gaited tree western saddle. The tree still sits over the top of the horse's scapula (shoulder), but with the custom shim pad, the scapula can glide under the tree without interference.
