The end of the forks will be be somewhere between a 1" to 1.5" off of the side boards so that'll bring it up off of him also. And then the padding to go under the side boards will bring it up also just a tad.
I still think you need to re-examine the angle of your front fork though. Shortening the length of the fork ("legs" as you call them) will not change the angle, and neither will adding sideboards. If you look at the photo of your tree sitting on your goat, you can see that the front fork is right down almost pressing on his withers. It should have more clearance than that. The front and rear forks should have similar clearance above the spine so the saddle sits level. I wrote an article about saddle fit a few years ago if you're interested. You can read it here:

I love seeing the progress you're making! I hope your saddle turns out awesome!
