Dry Area Under Saddle Pad

[qhwpmare]

I have always heard that dry "spots" under the saddle pad were pressure areas.My horse has large dry areas behind the wither area on both sides that remain dry after riding. I use a wool pad with an Ultra Thinline over it.Could these approx 12" X 5" areas be caused by excessive pressure ?

I was told that dry spots mean that your saddle doesn't properly fit your horse. Have you had your saddle fitted to your horse?

Saddle doesn't fit the horse. Have a saddle fitter come out. When the saddle fits, there won't be any dry areas.
