The saddle shouldn't be touching or rubbing on the withers at all. You should easily be able to put some fingers between the saddle pad and the front of the saddle. The seat should be wide or narrow enough to fit your horse's back correctly. The base should not be too curved or straight for your horse's back. Basically, a saddle shouldn't restrict the horse's movement in any way.

What was the effect of the horse saddle?

The affects of the horse saddle were numerous. One, it improved the control of the horse. It also, when the saddle fit, made it more comfortable for the horse when they had a rider. Saddle's today can either make or break a horse so to speak. If you have a well fitting saddle it improves their back muscles and overall performance. If you have an ill-fitting saddle that is either pinching or resting incorrectly on a portion of the back such as the withers, it will destroy back tissue, cause bone damage (especially to young and old horses) and eventually leave you with a lame horse.

Why do horses get sudden white spot on there shoulders?

This is usually a sign of an ill-fitted saddle. If the spots are occurring under the saddle blanket and in an area covered by the tree of the saddle, this is almost certainly the cause. Investigate proper methods of saddle fitment. The most useful reference book I know is "The Horse's Pain-free Saddle Fit Book" by Joyce Harman. I have used this book and can recommend it.
