BD rules on seat padding

[abbijay]

After a thoroughly revelatory physio session at the weekend (for both me and the horse) we have discovered how woefullly unlevel my pelvis is and therefore I have been putting zero weight through my left seat bone.
Last night I tried riding with a folded up glove shoved down my jodhs under my right seatbone. It did a great job of levelling me up so i wondered about getting a seat saver and sticking something to one side of it. Would this be allowed in competition?

Don't quote me, as it is a few years since I did BD, but I believe the Gel Out ones are OK to use. So, if you glued something to the underside of that, it would be between the seat saver and the saddle. You could perhaps use a gel wither pad or something??

It used to be that it was ok if it was discreet/matched the saddles colour.

Taken from the BD Members Handbook:

A gel pad/memory foam/sheepskin seat saver is permitted, provided that it is
unobtrusive and matches the colour of the saddle.
