Has anyone got one? I've just ordered one from equestrian clearance in the hope
a) I'll get it by the weekend as I need the bit I've ordered by Sunday!
And b) my saddle will stop slipping! U can't even get on off a mounting block because it slips, even when the girth is as tight as I can get it! Also getting the saddler out soon.

Antibes thoughts on it or have I just wasted £20?
 
Can't help but sympathise, my new saddle slips a bit in canter and it drives me nuts (it has been fitted, he is just round!), just waiting for my prolite saddle stay pad so lets hope they work for both of us! :)
 
ooh good luck :) I do hope it comes before sunday else i will have no breaks on the funride!

It doesnt tend to slip while in riding, maybe show jumping around the tight turns though! It's just getting on really, i tend to just swing my leg around to get on :p
 
If you're referring to the one made from only the 'gel' (i.e. without sheepskin):

I've used it a lot in the past and worked very well.

Just don't fold it in half when it's not in use - it will split on the crease over time :(
It's best to lay it flat whilst in storage.

(ideally the saddle should fit nicely and not slip at any time though - hopefully your saddler can solve the problem )
