I am in Missouri so no help to you. We have one that comes to the barn for the show horses but she is way expensive (these girls parents pay for it I guess) Good luck, hope he gets better without costing alot.

This may sound like a silly question Seastar, but how did you know that Romeo was "muscled up" and why do you need a different saddle?

I hope he's much improved now with his high-tech chiro session!

Sounds like he may have gained weight and added muscle !! If she was using a saddle with semi quarter horse bars it would have been too narrow across the back, thus pinching the withers !! Like a shoe that is too narrow will pinch your toes !! She probably needs full bars !! Also a horse can be flat backed, no withers to speak of, and need full quarter horse bars !!
