hi-lite saddle slipping

[chestnutx]

I have a hi-lite dressage saddle which i have used to back my Welsh cob. Its been great but now i am hacking out, doing preliminary dressage comps etc.. It has started to slip to the right. My dad suggested i wasn't tightening my girth enough, so he did it for me when i was on board and it didn't slip! It is a flexible tree so it definitely needs tightening when u are on board but it feels like i'm tightening it too much!

Am i just being silly? Does anyone have any tips for this type of saddle or should i think about a new saddle?

I knew what you meant! Haha! No it was last fitted last year. I will get the saddler out no matter what in the next few weeks.
