Thanks to the people who advised on saddle slip. Neoprene doesn't seem to
be the bargain it is advertised to be. It's frustrating ordering something
mail order and then deciding do I pay return shipping

hi tammy
i have an app/arab gelding that is almost as round as our fjords - my
neighbor gave me a non-slip pad last year and so far it has kept his saddle
on just great - it is about 18" by 24" and looks like thin foam rubber, but
it has worn wonderfully

Hi List,
I have a question and any advice would be appreciated. I ride my two Fjords
English pleasure and my tack fits them fine. I bought a traditional
children's western saddle for my younger relatives and this saddle fits
fine.

Thank you all for your thoughts on slipping saddles. It's given me lots
to think about and try. I appreciate the help and so does Osa.

Is there any possibility that you can borrow another saddle for a couple of
days? If that too slips to the right I guess there's nothing wrong with
your saddle (but it still might be the saddle + the horse if you understand
what I mean).

You might try shortening the RIGHT stirrup (or lengthening the LEFT)
Sounds backward, doesn't it? Well, you may be collapsing your left side
(your weaker side) pulling the left leg up a bit..If the left stirrup is a
bit longer you will stretch

Sounds like the saddle may be uneven. Or that she isn't tracking up evenly,
possibly shorter on the right side. Check her movement...if she's stepping
evenly than have the saddle checked by a saddle doctor. An improperly
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

Hello list -
I have a new mare that is a little over weight - her last owner loved to
feed his horses. To slim her down and get her into shape we have been
going on long rides - walking, about 2-3 miles a day. I bought an older
