If
you have read further up you would know we have sorted it nowLooks like you did so it's probably unnecessary to say tha yes, if your saddle has issues then clinics are not a good idea and should be cancelled.
A saddle that suddenly starts slipping can#t be said to fit, full stop. If you have been working with a fitter, which everyone should do, then many are offering a basic remote fit check from photos. Definitely have it checked at least every 6 moths minimum going forwards, and yes, gaining weight can affect saddle fit badly. This extra pads will have been making it tip back more but proceed with caution and actually I would say not to ride with a grip pad against the skin, they can make some horses not only very uncomfortable at best but actually cause fascial damage.
