Hello, I have a 15'2 MW cob who i have an albion style for in wide, 3 times this year she has developed rub marks on her back i have had the saddler back out each time who has moved the stuffing around then the patches go, i have been riding in an impakt pad which is not rubbing any more hair away but the patches are very slowly growing back. Can anybody give my advice on maybe what better saddle to use that would be more suitable (i have had the saddle 2 yrs and this is the 1st year that is has rubbed intermittantly) i always ride with anti slip pad as with normal numnahs they slip right back i tried a brestplate but my mare was very unhappy with it & i really don't want to have to wear one. any advice greatly appreciated i am thinking towards an ideal H&C:)
 
Where is it rubbing? I find that Albions can have rather long points for anything with a wide wither or round ribcage and they can be rather curvy for anything flat backed. I'd also say that if a numnah always moves back then it is a sign that the saddle is trying to move forwards so is somehow unstable.
