What do you think of these saddle marks?

[Jane&Ziggy]

In my lesson yesterday my RI asked me to ride with my weight distributed very differently.

It happens that I had no numnah so Ziggy had his saddle on bare fur. This was how he looked afterwards. Normally I have hardly any saddle marks at the front, and two big blobs at the back - this looks much more even to me. What do you think? Do you think my saddle needs reflocking anyway?

It looks ok but possibly a little less pressure at the back unless he has a particularly swinging back, but if a slight shift in your balance can make that much of a change to where pressure is I would be concerned it is perhaps not fitting evenly all the way along allowing for some rock. Where your spots right under your bum before?

 

[Jane&Ziggy]

Yes, hardly any mark except directly under my bum cheeks

 

[Jessey]

Sounds like too much rock (curve from front to back) which is why shifting your weight has given a better pattern at the front but a fuzzy one at the back, I'd have it double checked personally

I will, thank you
