Best Answer

The gait of a mutton-withered horse (one who has low, flat, undefined withers) isn't generally affected by the conformation fault. However, mutton withers make it more difficult to fit a saddle properly; the saddle may slip forward and interfere with the horse's shoulders, making the horse move shorter in front.
