Hi I've been using a non-slip pad. It is just a black liner that can be placed on a regular pad. It helps quite a bit and does not affect the fit of the saddle. Also, I've used Mattes pads...they work very well, but are a bit pricey. I was suggested one time to check the fit of the girth. Some girths seem like they prevent it, and others let the saddle slip upward. Good luck!

I have a wide tree dressage saddle and hoped it would fit my new Fjord mare( my very first Fjord!:) ) I put it on and it looked like it sat just perfect and I was so pleased...However when I lunged her in it it rode way up on her neck. Is there any answer to this problem other than a new saddle???? Was wondering about special pads? She doesn't have much for withers... but many Fjords don't from what I understand. Would appreciate any suggestions you might offer...Thanks so much. Beth in soggy Maine..
