If the saddle is unlevel, then yes - fixing that is the first thing  
to do, as you want the saddle to fit the horse.  However, I've seen  
some saddles that, though they sit quite level on the horse, simply  
don't fit the rider.  If the seat is too big for the rider, then  
where the stirrups are hung can be too far out in front of where the  
saddle puts your set to make posting easy (or in some cases, even  
possible).   The rider ends up in a chair seat, even though the  
saddle fits the horse just fine.
