I have had wonderful success with working on horses. back by using the Corrector saddle pad. The web link is www.thecorrector.net. There is ALOT on this site about sore backs.
How about just a ThinLine Pad or a combo ThinLine with Back on Track called the Contender II. No drugs just great protection. Will help saddles fit and will keep their backs sound.
