Moi, you are not beating your head on a brick wall :lol:
I was trying to limit my reply to "designing a Roman horned saddle". That was hard enough in 1,400 words. A longer reply could have being perceived as escessive.
The saddle has to work in conjuction with the bit, bridle, breaching and breast straps and the girth. All of these areas are worthy of detailed staudy. Perhaps a start could be separate threads on RAT. I am looking forward to your research on the bit.
