Just to let you all know--my lesson horse today could not bear the Sensation.
The minute I sat in the saddle she crouched and kept trying to scoot away from under it--so I immediately dismounted. There's not enough clearance/support for her withers with my skito and the foam. I don't know if there's a saddle pad out there that would be better (Saddleright?) but I know I won't be using my Sensation on her again. So, I went back to the school saddle which is so uncomfortable and rubs me wrong in all the places--my lesson from that point on became a passenger lesson because I was so tense. My instructor says he thinks that my riding abilities have regressed at least 6 months! What a downer. Sheesh. V
