Saddles that have 'full quarter horse bars' were developed especially for stock type horses such as the Quarter Horse. Stock type horses tend to have wider backs around the withers. Sometimes called 'mutton withers', these backs need a wider saddle for a proper fit. So the bars (the front part of the saddle that sits on either side of the withers) were widen. A saddle with semi quarter horse bars are slightly narrower than a full quarter bar. In the same way shoe sizes come in full and half measurements, semi quarter bars make for a better fit since every horse's back and withers can be different.
