Due to saddle woes (odd shaped horse 
) I am looking at the possibility of one of these pads. Horse is asymmetric as am I, so a chick or egg question here. The saddle 'gets stuck' both behind and over his shoulders, and due to being more muscled one side than the other seems to 'twist' to the left, so sits tighter to the wither on the right side once I am sat on it. I have tried every means under the sun to correct it and saddler has been out and tried to sort it, but basically he can do no more to it.....
however as most things to do with horses these are expensive, and if wrong this pad is an expensive mistake!!!! does anyone know where I could get one of these on trial or rent....or even a saddle fitter in Dorset/Wiltshire/Hampshire that fits them so I could try one?
Or would there be a hho'er ( in any of the above counties) who may be willing to let me try theirs
? I'd be happy to leave a debit card etc with you!
Ideally id id have my saddle converted to a flair system (use to have a cair and loved it!) but this is way out of any budget currently!
