Re: [RC] Dressage Saddles for Endurance Riding (and Dressage Training) - Heidi SmithHad never considered the question before. My main observation would be that we (my wife and I) have not had any problems with saddles slipping forward and we do some pretty steep downhills in our dressage saddles. Bottom line here is that if horses have poor back conformation, saddles will invariably slip. If they have great back conformation, saddles won't slip. Many horses are "in between" and in many cases where a horse has at least a reasonable back, the difference can be due to saddle fit as well. I've reached the point where backs and body proportions are the FIRST things I look at in potential prospects, and I don't even bother to look at legs unless the backs and bodies pass muster....
