Hi Jade
After many viewings and no replys I spoke to a saddler as I have similar problems to you, she suggested a Keiffer or Barnsby saddle, you need to look for the letters HH (high head) or something with a cut back head..

So I have been told, good luck & sorry I couldn't have been of more help

Good home waiting for a 17 1/2" m/w Ideal jessica saddle

i have similar problems as my horse has high withers. his albion dressage saddle has a cut back head and fits well. saddler told me to look for a GP saddle with a cut back head and likely only albion or black country would fit him.

Get your saddler out and explain your horses shape and what type of saddle you want. Hopefully they will be able to find a make that will fit you and your horse.
