Took the Raewyn saddle up to the stables today, and plonked it on Blue’s back (with some padding, of course)
His Blueness didn’t seem too fussed. I think it will fit him!
It’s obviously pressing on his wither here, because there’s no panels or flocking, everything needs to come up a few cms. But the points follow the curve of his shoulders quite well, they don’t dig in or gape.
Off to the saddler tomorrow, for the diagnosis – is she salvageable, and what will be the damage to my credit card?

Very exciting!
