Just for fun, we took wither tracings of Max, the 11-hand grade pony, versus Tucker the 16 hand muscled Quarter horse, and Diesel, the 17 hand Paint stallion. Max's wither tracing displays at the top of the photo. As you can see, Max had the u-shaped withers typical of the pony. Diesel and Tucker have V-shaped withers.
Max's gullet width measured three inches down from the top of the withers was 9.5 inches versus 6.5 and 6 inches for Diesel and Tucker respectively. Blessi's saddles fit Max through the shoulders--even though they were way too long for Max's back. Another illustration of why saddle fit can be so challenging.
