Does anyone else have trouble with saddle fitting for a high-withered, short-backed, hollow behind the shoulders kind of conformation?

Cover-up?<br />
<br />
5 December, 2009<br />
<br />
A massive row has erupted in the Arab Horse Society (AHS). Members accuse the society of covering up an incident of cruelty at the national championship show at Malvern. But the society argues complaints were not made within its rules and that other eye-witnesses saw no cruelty.<br />

Cover-up?<br />
<br />
5 December, 2009<br />
<br />
A massive row has erupted in the Arab Horse Society (AHS). Members accuse the society of covering up an incident of cruelty at the national championship show at Malvern. But the society argues complaints were not made within its rules and that other eye-witnesses saw no cruelty.<br />
<br />
Elaine Mann, the society's chairman of shows and events and council member, has resigned over the issue, saying: "I can no longer agree with the findings of the investigation committee into the abuse case at Malvern."<br />
<br />
And now Carolyn Kokta, a member of the PR and membership committee, has left the society over the affair.<br />
<br />
Several eyewitnesses told H&H about the alleged incident on 30 July. They say a colt belonging to AHS treasurer Heather Brown was beaten to the ground with a schooling whip by handler Barry Shepherd.<br />
<br />
The two-year-old, Montgomery, was not seriously marked and won his futurity class the following day with another handler.<br />
<br />
Producer and AHS member Elizabeth Turner says she challenged Mr Shepherd at the show. She is calling for an independent inquiry or vote of no confidence in the council.<br />
<br />
"It wasn't just a couple of slaps, the whipping went on for about 10min — even when he'd fallen over — I've never seen anything like it," she told H&H.<br />
<br />
Another eyewitness, Joanne Russell, told H&H "top people in the Arab showing world" had been shocked by the event.<br />
<br />
And a stud owner, who does not wish to be named, also saw the incident.<br />
<br />
"The horse was hit across his front in front of everyone — including his owner," she said. "The trainer has a very good record, so I was surprised."<br />
<br />
Ms Turner believes that the incident has been "swept under the carpet" because of close links between the AHS and the alleged perpetrators.<br />
<br />
"It's one big cover-up," she said. "Letters have gone missing or haven't been logged. Mine was the only letter they said they considered and I wasn't even interviewed."<br />
<br />
The AHS released a statement on 24 August confirming that complaints had been received, but adding that most were discounted on the grounds of not being eyewitness reports or not having been submitted through the correct procedures.<br />
<br />
The society says no-one officially objected at the time and claims seven letters were received from people who watched "all or part of the training session at which cruelty is alleged to have occurred but saw no cruelty".<br />
<br />
AHS chairman Finn Guinness said the society "is not planning another investigation". He suggested Elaine Mann had launched an attack on the society after being asked to stand down from running the Malvern show for an unrelated matter. Mrs Mann denies this.<br />
<br />
Heather Brown's solicitor, Sarah Webb of Russell Jones & Walker, said there is no basis for an independent investigation.<br />
<br />
"My client was cleared in accordance with terms of the Arab Horse Society," she said.<br />

Any comments or suggestions on a good tree style for Arabs? Also a good brand name? I think my girl needs a QH bar and a saddle that has some rock to it. I've learned a bit about Crates saddles with a Steele tree, and I think that Big Horn uses a steele tree as well.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure that she would fit a typical Arab tree as she is not reall that wide in the shoulder....but any comments on those would be appreciated as well.<br />
<br />
Thanks can you help?tag:www.barnmice.com,2008-08-03:1773158:Topic:317302008-08-03T01:02:00.414ZNora Robinsonhttp://www.barnmice.com/profile/NoraRobinson

Alright so I had an Arabian who had been abused. At first she was nervous, flightly, and agressive around adults. I was mesmerized by her at first, but I also was terified of her. She was a huge horse, way to big to be pure blood Arab. I would sit in front of her stall speaking softly. She would stand there starring at me warrily. I always left part of an orange in her feed bucket before I left. As time went she started to relax around me. Well it was time to worm the horses, and as you can…
Alright so I had an Arabian who had been abused. At first she was nervous, flightly, and agressive around adults. I was mesmerized by her at first, but I also was terified of her. She was a huge horse, way to big to be pure blood Arab. I would sit in front of her stall speaking softly. She would stand there starring at me warrily. I always left part of an orange in her feed bucket before I left. As time went she started to relax around me. Well it was time to worm the horses, and as you can imagine that wasn't pretty. My mom had no idea that I was working with Mona.( which was the horses name.) Mom had told me never to go near Mona. She was afraid of Mona. I was not. Papa cliped a lead rope on Mona's head.( After a several min. power struggle.) He tried to give Mona the wormer, but Mona didn't like it. She reared in her stall and broke the lead rope's metal clip clean off. Her stall wasn't shut all the way and she charged out. My parents stood there stuned. I quietly slipped away and calmly persued Mona calmly. It was time to put the work I had done with Mona to the test. I aproched Mona slowly and spoke to her softly the way I had been for about a month. She put her head down and let me aprotch her. I came up on her side and stroked her neck. I could feel her muscles relax, and I bent over and grabed her halter. I then tugged on the halter and she lifted up her head for me. I was thrilled! I started to walk forward and she came. When I reached the barn mom saw me and nearly fainted. I walked Mona into her stall, and grabed the wormer off the floor. I spoke to her softly while giving her the wormer. She grudingly let me. I was amazed!! That was just the begining of our adventures, Mona and me.
