Speaking of which, my understanding is that now OF is selling their new
saddles with a numnah pad and separate cover for the panels.  The idea being
that the saddle now rubs the pad, not the horse.  It's a whole different
padding system and the traditional booties are all but history with the
company.  Seems like even OF knew that a change was in order.  Replacement
price is expensive though for an older saddle.... $140 in wool felt with
synthetic fleece against the horse, $190 or so for full wool fleece.  I'm
about willing to try it, but even getting your hands on one seems to be
difficult.  There are pics of the new system at OF's website, but it's
difficult to really see what they look like.

My thinking is that the booties themselves are the problem. They
cause the saddle and pad to move together. When I purchased my
Express lite. I removed the booties and bought a nice wool
back endurance pad. I love the saddle and have had no problems.
My mare is tiny 14'1 and not long in the body. Also, the quality
of the pad I bought was so much better than the bootie padding.
