Hi Everyone WOW thank you for all the advice, I tried what Kaaren suggested about doing the girth up two holes more on either the back or front. What I did notice is when the girth was done up two holes at the back it made the front of the saddle come UP! Which led to it slipping forward more!
I tried it today: Holes done up two more on the back made it REALLY bad, the saddle slipped forward with her walking down hill with out me on. Two holes higher in the front a bit better than when they are even. I really like the mohair girth that Susan mentioned and Laree posted a link too, does it dissipate heat better that the sensation girth? I find the sensation girth does cause her to sweat a lot underneath. But she is not clipped yet! Also watched the saddle without the girth done up when she has her head down the saddle tips forward (the back of the saddle comes up at least an inch!) this is with the girth UNDONE hanging free on one side. So I am thinking maybe as Robyn suggested shims? Kaaren you mention one type do you know where to get those in Canada? Maybe Robyn do you have some shims? How will it effect the pressure of the saddle? Also the torsion girth I am thinking of is the Contoured not the Luna. The Luna does not help with a saddle that slips forward or backward. It also mentions on the site that the neoprene is covered with nylon so no neoprene touches the horses now? Maybe the neoprene was an issue and they have changed it? Still if I can use my sensation girth and maybe some shims it might be better. Thank you so much everyone! Zoe and Emmy on Bowen Island in BC
