Saddle fitting/pad for a swayback horse

[searchand_dstry]

I went through the saddle fitting tags quite a ways back and found a lot about fixing problems for high withers, but none for swaybacks so my apologies if this has been touched on and I missed it!

It's been a long, long time since I posted here so here is my problem. I volunteer for a rescue and am leasing (potentially looking into buying) a 3 1/2

I have no idea. It looks fine on your guy but if I got a picture, you could actually see just from it that it looks like it doesn't fit right. I'm wondering if it's the smaller sized reinsman and the saddle is too big so not sitting properly. Not to mention, most of the volunteers own their own saddles... I have an english, but not a western, so I am stuck using the cruddy one they have until I find a solution for her. A lot of it could be the saddle.

Thanks for you input on the cashel! I have the option to return it if it doesn't work out within a week for a full refund. So I might do that and see what I think of it.
