Big Horn Saddles

["CASEBEER" <casbeer@molalla.net>]

I'm currently having problems with mine shooting forward over my 
young horses shoulders on down hills.  Of course, he's a little 
pot-bellied, and doesn't have great withers yet.  The center-fire 
rigging puts the cinch at the fat part of his belly, and the cinch 
just wants to keep working it's way toward his elbows, which pulls 
the whole saddle forward.

I've been using just the front rings with better success, but it 
still works forward.  Any suggestions?  I like the saddle, it's 
comfortable, easy to post, etc.

Do you think once his withers "come up" a bit more (he's currently 4) 
it won't be such a problem?  I did order a crupper, in the meantime 
I've been riding him in a Stubben (wide tree) which fits great.
