The pommell
it's not the saddle you are looking for it's a saddle to fit your horses back and a girth to fit behind it's front legs
The only discipline that uses a cutback saddle is saddleseat. Saddlebreds, Arabians, Morgans, National Show Horses, and Tennessee Walkers are the most common Saddleseat breeds. Saddleseat pleasure horses pick up their feet really high and have very long tails. Saddlebreds were the original breed that saddleseat riding was performed on. But a cutback saddle is longer than a huntseat saddle, and it doesn't have knee rolls.
The cutback saddle is so designed to allow space for the high withers of some breeds -- Tennessee Walking Horses, American Saddlebreds, some Thoroughbreds, etc. The cutback is most often a saddleseat saddle, with a flat seat, and is popular with the most formal riding style and these high-headed, convex-back horses. Roping and trail horses are most often Quarter Horses with wide backs and low withers, more suited to Western saddles (although many trail horses are TWH or Missouri Foxtrotters, they areused in Western or endurance saddles). Dressage horses, though often Thoroughbreds, are ridden in specially designed dressage saddles with long skirts and non-cutback trees. Side saddles are constructed on special trees with a specially long point on the near side to balance the weight and are rarely cut back. In short, the cutback is most often used in a Lane Fox-type saddle, for saddle seat riding.
A cutback saddle can be made for any discipline. It is designed so the pommel is cut farther back to accommodate high withered horses.
If your horse has the saddle on and you go to your horses left look at the saddle. if u go from the seat and towards the back where the tail is (the right) the part closes to the tail. (Go on google.com and type in saddle diagrams and youll find what your looking for.)

Well here in the USA hunt seat and saddle seat are two very different styles of riding and would require a horse to be retrained to show in one or the other. Hunt or hunter riding is designed for horses with long low flowing gaits that may or may not jump depending on which classes they show in. Saddle Seat is aimed at highly animated horses such as Saddlebreds and National Show horses that have a high knee action. The riders sit farther back on the horse and keep their legs off the horses side and tend to ride from the hand a bit more. There is no jumping in Saddle seat.
Saddle seat is a type of English riding that involves a high-stepping horse, and the rider has his/her legs farther out in front than in most English saddles. Western is a type of riding where the saddle has a horn, and is deeper and more secure than an English saddle. Western riders do not jump.
At the base of the neck, where the neck meets the back. On most horses it will be a distinguishable bump but some do not have much withers and they are less noticeable.
The low point of a mountain range is called a pass. In contrast, the high point is called a peak.
A good way to set the height for a bicycle saddle is to: - put butt on the saddle - put a pedal at its lowest (6 o'clock position) - heel of foot - with riding shoe on - on the pedal Now your leg should be almost entirely straight at the knee. When riding, you should have the pedal platfor behind the toes but in front of the arch of the foot. When riding, you should be able to turn the pedals full round w/o your hips tilting to reach the pedal at its lowest point.
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.
