What size saddle pad?
For a western saddle most pads will be about the same size unless it's for a pony saddle, which will be much smaller. English saddle pads can vary significantly. Since there are different types of English saddles the pads will correspond with their individual shapes. A dressage saddle will have a dressage pad, likewise hunt seat, saddle seat (with a 3 or 4 inch cutback). Whatever the size or shape, make sure that the pad is thick enough that it protects your horse's back and that it fits right so it won't slip or rub.

Help finding the right saddle pad i own a thoroghbred n i ride western n my saddle is rubbing on his wither i know a high riser want work as his wither is high is there a saddle pad that is thick?
There are a few things you can do. Check with your local saddle shop as there are saddle pads that are made thicker. You can also double your pads making sure they don't slide around. Your pad may not be forward enough to raise your saddle so that it does't rub. Or the problem may be the saddle. It may be to wide for your horse, therefore it is not sitting on its back correctly. I had two different saddles for this reason. The fork where the horn is attached was higher on one saddle than the other. This gave more room for the withers. If you can check with someone in your area who knows saddles and horses well. Check out some site that offering saddle pad. One of them is http://www.saddleonline.com having many variety of saddle pads.
