I don't ride in a treeless saddle so I'll leave comments on that to 
other people.  But I would like to advise not using one pad on top of 
another!  Just using one pad and one saddle, there are 2 "intersections" 
where things can slip and slide: 1) horse's back - pad, 2) pad - saddle. 
 Adding a 3rd between two potentially slippery surfaces just adds to 
the risk of the saddle slipping.
