warning, i know nothing about bob marshalls. that said: i would suggest a few things: rather than a saddle with a horn, get one with two d-rings in front and attach a grab strab. it can give you a stable balance point, and it can't poke you in the tummy or catch on your clothes. second, try full chaps or a full-seat pair of riding pants. they increase the friction between you and the saddle a bit, so you might get some of that "glued" feeling you would like. (i forgot my half-chaps on saturday's trail ride, and my calves regret it rather :) good luck! --vicka
