Does anyone have a large korrector pad they would be willling to lend to me.

The year before last I spent all my savings £950 on a saddle for my horse. Last year I spent £60 a visit for the saddler to come out and adjust the padding as it was slipping not to mention weeks waiting for this much respected master saddler to visit me.

Add to this buying several non-slip pads and a variety of girths to correct the problem. None of which helped.
The season finished with my horse going lame and I decided to turn her away for the winter.

Now spring is round the corner I am determined not to be beaten and to try and sort out this problem and I have heard that the korrector pad can be adjusted to correct a sideways slipping saddle. So just thought I would ask if anyone can help. I can't afford to buy one, but would consider it if I knew it would make riding my horse a pleasureable experience.
 
off a cheaper method, take one nummnah or saddle pad, sew 1 long pocket on the side where the saddle goes, then take one old or cheap yoga/exercise mat an cut into oval, oblong and square peices. then insert these into the pocket until you have it horizontal and flat saddle. it would be a bit of trail and error but you should be able to compensate for the assymetry. don't forget to keep and eye on the back etc and change when needed

also are you one off centre when you ride, do you put equal pressure on both sides of the saddle? when you next ride get some masking tape and put in the centre of your back and also your front (top to bottom), down your legs and arms and dots on your hat. then get some one to video you, watch the tape and see how balanced and parrel you are. you might have picked up a bad habit and posture:)

I do have a large Korrector pad that I bought to cure exactly this problem. Once my horse had muscled up on the side that had previously been hollow I didn't need any asymmetric correction and I switched to using a polypad and his saddle never slipped again.

I haven't used mine for a couple of years, I hung onto it as they are so useful but I suspect that it would actually now be too big for any of my lot. I would consider selling it cheaply if you don't get a loan sorted out, PM me if you want to discuss.
