I actually didn't have any problem with it moving
at all. I placed it about 6 inches down from the top of his withers and about 6
inches back from his shoulder. I'm using a Boz saddle that has 1" foam pads on
the bottom besides the supracor pad so everything pretty much sticks tight as a
drum. I'm think back further would put it right under my legs and more pressure,
but if I move it down more, it might just slip down and out the bottom. Hmmmm
... I wonder if I moved it up closer to where the pad does it's V thing at the
middle of the back ... Idunno. I stopped riding one horse with no meat behind
the shoulders only to replace it with another LOL! But I will say, no sore backs
with this combination of saddle and pad. Knock on wood!
With this pad the electrode can tend to work forward
because of the compression of the pad. Try moving the electrode back behind
where the wither starts to dip. That should help. When I first used the
supracor pad the electrod kept working it's way out from under the saddle.

I was wondering if any of you are using a heart
rate moniter with a supracor coolback pad. I absolutely love my pad, but
after I got it, I haven't used the hrm because it left a big welt when
putting it behind the withers. My horse isn't very meaty back there and when
I removed the saddle after a 10-mile ride, you could almost read the letters
imprinted on the electrode. Kidding, not that bad, but the square ridge that
sits up around the outside of the electrode was clear as day, along with the
actual outline of the outside of the electrode edge.
Is there another place I could put it where it
wouldn't receive as much pressure but would stay put? Would love to use it
this weekend but am afraid to.
