I just received a sports saddle.  I really love the ride it gives me, very balanced and secure.  I have a problem. I use the equalizer pad and the loins of my horses back are rubbed.  It is like a rub see say when someone uses a breast plate and it rubs the hair.  As far as his back being sore! I am not sure.  I have tested it as best I can, he seems as if he may be tender but not bad.  Has anyone else eperienced this?  Is there a break in peroid for the saddles?  I worry that when I really begin training, riding at a trot for an hour at a time, this could be a problem.  Sore back.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
