English saddles for horses with short backs?

I have been having some problems fitting my morgan gelding with a english Saddle. I used to have the Collegiate Senior Event until I started doing hunter/jumper equitation with him. I now have a HDR Advantage CC. But it always rides up onto his withers and the pommel is way higher then the back of the seat. Even with the riser pad. Is there a way to correct this? What are some good kinds/brands of close contact saddles for horses with short backs? I am having some problems fitting him with a close contact..

Thank You
Do you think he has a short back?

I just assumed he did since I have never had a saddle fitting problem like this.. ?
Apparently I have to call it to your attention that he is parked out in the picture. That is why he looks swayed back and why his withers look high. Lol. They really aren't that high. And he is only 13. He does not have a sway back sweetie.

He doesn't look to have a short back. He does look a little sway backed, which is not the problem. The real problem is that he has some HIGH withers. To be honest, I can't think of an english saddle that would really fit a horse with that high of withers.

I'd talk to a local trainer who has a very good show record in your breed, and see what they think you should do for a saddle. You might end up having to use multiple thick saddle pads (like, two medium western pads with an english pad on top, and possibly a riser as well).

EDIT: LOL, ok. So he's just a freak of nature who no saddles fit.
