New saddle - shlippy!!

[FfionWinnie]

Nearly fell off yesterday as new saddle is so slippery. Should I get sticky jods or will cleaning saddle make it tackier? I don't want to spray that sticky stuff on it really.

Not ideal being this easily ejected on a youngster

If sticky jods are a good idea, which are the best make?

I would suggest my ever faithful Heather Moffett seat saver would solve the problem

I rode a horse once who's saddle had sticky pads on the underneath that should theoretically stop it slipping (woman who owned the horse I was riding decided to put a saddle cloth on as well even though that prevents the sticky pads from not working! ).

Are you offering a loan of it then . Having just spent 1460 on the flipping thing I feel it shouldn't need a seat saver!!lol

It's the seat that's slippy ie I nearly fell off as the horse cat leapt a log and launched me into orbit. Was wearing my mountain horse trousers which don't probably help but I just had jods on today and it still felt like I may slide off any second lol

hahaha, no no,no. I got two at a tack sale for a fiver - and they are both in use. Slippy saddles = me on the floor.

Oooohh I see! I have no suggestions for that- sorry!

It's a barnsby. Can't decide if I like it or not!!!

 

[Shysmum]

I have a few different makes of sticky bum breeches and johds, I find the 'clarino' seat ones are probably the best, although I have two pairs with sticky spots and they work pretty well. One of the sticky spots ones are caldene and the other are Loveson I think.

Starburst or something they are called now aren't they?

I have Equissentials leather full seat ones & they definitely help with the stickiness! They're not on the inexpensive side, but will last for years & totally worth it IMO.
