Hi Kelly,
Wintec makes a wonderful Australian stock saddle with an
interchangeable/adjustable gullet system. It comes in a more English looking
style and a more western looking one. It is super secure and super comfortable,
great trail saddle that works well on my high withered boy. Also synthetic and
easy to care for. Here is some more info:

Cheers,

Hi all...
I am having a heck of a time fitting a western saddle to my fjord..I have
looked through the archives, but everyone seems to be having the opposite
problem to me...I don't have a wide/ low withered fjord..My fjord is a sporty
model with a narrow frame, and withers ( he has a dutch back)...I have always
ridden in a wintec dressage saddle and been just fine...However now I want to
change to a western saddle (as I need the horn for security while riding with
my son) and I am having TONS of trouble getting something that fits, as his
back is short, and the whole withers/ narrow body thing...What do people do
when they have a thoroughbred and they wanna ride western? I tried the wintec
and the gullet was too wide, I tried a crates and again same problem, I have a
Santa fe on trial right now, but to me the skirt seems too long, but the
withers fit better (and it is considered a short skirt by western
standards)...
I personally love synthetic as it is easy to clean, and light (great for me as
a busy mom), but wintec is out as the gullet is too wide so it sits right on
his withers...Does anyone have experience with Cordura, or any other synthetic
brand? I live on Vancouver Island ,BC, Canada, so my store choices are
limited...I'm feeling a little cautious about ordering one on line as you
never know what you are gonna get...
Thanks
Kelly and Skovy
