Saddle fitting

Trying out a new english saddle and had the oddest thing happen.  Used a 
dressage pad underneath to protect the saddle, it appears to fit with no 
bridging, good space thru the gullet.  Went out for an hour ride, horses 
had sweaty shoulders and gaskins (we're still shedding winter coats) when 
we got back.  The ENTIRE under saddle area was not at all sweaty.  Not dry 
spots; completely dry.

Did we just not get him sweaty enough to test for dry spots ?  Or is 
something REALLY wrong?
