correction/shimmy pads, do you use one? what is your experience with them?
My mare has been very sore and slightly lame behind just after her saddle was adjusted by the fitter (gullet was widened). She is having a rest and saddle has been adjusted again : more flocking has been added towards the middle of the panels (just where they become narrower) so I am guessing that the saddle was bridging. The saddle was used with a thin Roma sheepskin half-pad and caused dry spots behind the wither. The saddle is the correct width so I am wondering if a correction/shimmy pad could help the panels fit her back shape better.
