    [RC] loin rubbing with SportSaddle - Kathy & Mike Kelly


    I know this has been covered before, and I have searched the archives.   But is there anyone out there who solved the loin-rubbing problem with their SportSaddle?  I love my saddle and it fits my other 2 horses fine, but signs of loin-rubbing with my very short-backed arab.
     
    I thought I had it beat after I got a new Skito with front inserts, but its still rubbing, just not as badly as before.  Seems to be worse with the Dixie Midnight under the Skito (although that did completely solve the problem of the saddle moving forward on downhills).
     
    Did anyone out there find another saddle that worked better after having similar problems?  This horse is very wide/flat backed with low withers.  Someone posted on a new saddle a few days ago, but I can't find that post anywhere.
     
    Thanks!
