Thanks to the people who advised on saddle slip. Neoprene doesn't seem to

fitting saddle can hurt her bac

You may ride with more weight in the right stirrup. She may favor one side.
But ...slippage can sometimes be controlled somewhat with a neoprene cinch -
the kind that has little cross hatches on it to make it grip. Professional
choice makes
