RE: [RC] Saddle fits or not? Or just get a new pad? - LaBrake, Denise AThanks Kristen, I need to get my hands on something fast, the pad is what has caused the problem. It's too short. I checked the saddle out last night again, on her back without the pad. Everything touches find on the outside lengths of the tree, no pressure and no lifts when you walk her. As soon as I put the pad on the back of it sits right on the spots showing wet. NOT GOOD. I'm fixing it immediately!!! Thank you all for all your help.

Or just get a new pad? Denise - I use an oversize barrel Toklat woolback with inserts from Sportack. It is pricey but have no problems with it, nor do my 2 friends who have them as well.

Or just get a new pad? We have been using a new saddle the past 5 weeks. Tucker endurance. It appears to fit well, however, after riding I notice two spots that are more wet then the rest of my Mares back. A couple days later when we were grooming for our next ride I noticed some dry skin come off as I groomed her in those two spots. Is this a sign of the saddle not fitting or is it something like you all were discussing earlier about the horse being out of shape and young, with a young rider schooling her? That's us! We've been out of the saddle for 3 years and just got back in the saddle a couple months ago recently increasing our rides to 3 to 4 times per week as of end of August. I'm hoping we can fix it. We like the Tucker endurance saddle. I'm thinking we need a new pad but do not know where to start. Going to be doing as much trail riding as possible so any suggestions would be great before we buy. We are using a Millers Cool Back now. Don't really have sweating problems even after a good 5 hours in warm weather. Just the norm. However, I don't think the pad fits the saddle enough in the rear, at bit short. The pad is for a an All Purpose English Saddle. My Arab's short back is an issue with pads, none of the square stuff will go at all!
