I just started riding my 8 yr old Icey. He was born on my property , but due to my back injury I’m just now able to ride him. I went for a trail ride with a group and had to borrow a saddle because I could not keep my new treeless saddle from slipping. I tightened girth until there was no strap left. Will it hurt my boy to get smaller girth? I’m worried about pinching him. Do I need a slip pad then my treeless pad ?
So many questions because I’m new and everyone I ride with does not understand how hard it is to find western type tack for my short backed stocky Icelandic Gelding. Any pad / girth suggestions would be appreciated
