You'll find it on the "replacement parts" page. One originally came with the saddle. I don't know if you could make something similar to fit in the gullet out of foam or not. If you did, it would not look the same but might have the same effect. <br /><br />The trauma system is important, but it's hard to tell how significant it might be in your saddle. <br /><br />I've seen foam pads in some of the tack stores that might do the job of a dorsal pad to create more gullet. The idea would be to raise the pommel a bit so it doesn't rub Izzy's wither. <br /><br />Maybe you will get some more suggestions for pads from other people on the board. I will keep thinking on this to try to think of less expensive alternatives for now.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-61534503232732450362009-09-21T13:23:25.133-06:002009-09-21T13:23:25.133-06:00That is an older model KK and it is possible the t...That is an older model KK and it is possible the trauma system foam has collapsed. That would make the saddle much flatter on the bottom. <br /><br />Did you get a gullet pad with it? If so, it will make the bottom of the saddle much more like the Classic. <br /><br />You can also use a pad similar to the dorsal supplement pad Ansur sells. <br /><br />Keep a close eye on your girl with this saddle for now. The older models have a flatter pommel as well and don't always fit "well withered" horses.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-26803450902318381662009-09-21T12:50:14.133-06:002009-09-21T12:50:14.133-06:00Jean at Horses of Follywoods demos Ansur saddles a...Jean at Horses of Follywoods demos Ansur saddles and might be able to answer your questions about your new saddle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
