So I'm having trouble with my jump saddle sliding back but it's not just this saddle. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to help?
Horse has been in 3 different saddles throughout changing shape and they've all fitted well at the time but due to his big shoulder movement and the fact he's quite 'racehorse shaped' E.g he's deepest just behind his front leg and just gets narrower the further back you go, everything seems to want to shift back.
Is there anything I can do to stop this happening and ensure he's comfortable? Its usually fine if I put it slightly forward and make sure girth is pretty tight before I get on (and I usually use a breastplate), but I was wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar and found something that helped?
