Girth should be tight enough that you can slip a middle finger in with
difficulty. How are your horse's withers? I don't get much slippage on
mine with or without the breast collar. Haven't seen that particular
saddle, but in general w/OFs, I wouldn't recommend use of a pad unless you
get rubbing, then sheepskin is good.

The Swain CT model got written up in Mike Plumb's Horse Journal--did you
see it? They hated it for jumping and loved it for flat work, if I'm
remembering right.
