My damned saddle is slipping forwards again. I've tried various saddle and remedial pads all of which help but I'm worried its still catching slightly. When I saddle up its perfect but as soon as you do anything other than walk the saddle moves forwards and starts to rub. Its only a winter thing (I hope) when he changes shape but he has no shoulders to speak of and high withers which is a bad combination.
I have called the saddler who firstly suggested a thicker pad (?) and then a wider gullet (?) but I am now thinking that the only thing that is going to do it is a crupper. I've heard bad things about them so this was really my last resort. Has anyone got any experience of them? I heard a leather one isnt so bad. THe saddler wont be coming out for another week.
