Ok! This may be a stupid question but, what about withers on a horse? My neighbor asked me today about them and why do people look at them when buying a horse? Is it about how a saddle will fit or about how it effects or affects a horses performance say like if your are looking for a good cutting or reining horse. I couldn't answer the question so I thought I'd ask you guys. I hope I didn't spell anything wrong but I do happen to have a few beers in me. I spent the day at a Clinton Anderson clinic. What fun!
