Re: [RC] Saddles that move forward/backward - Marirose SixI always use a breastcollar & crupper, but then I ride mules, so I don't count. However, a friend of mine doesn't use either because her saddle seldom ever moves, it fits so well. That said, I bug the heck out fo her to use a breast collar simply for safety reasons. I doubt she has put it on her saddle yet, though she does own one. (She's a little hard-headed) But if she had, I cane think of 2 times she wouldn't have been dumped off her horse: both times when her saddle slid back either going up hill or galloping flat out. Both times the saddle ultimately ended up under the horse, 1st time with one stirrup up over his hock on a back leg. (Saw that one other time too, different horse.) So keep in mind people, less is not always better. And, even if you don't mind falling off, your horse may not appreciate wearing the saddle under his belly or attached to his leg.
