hiya, im having sweat pattern issues haha!
when i take the saddle off, the only places which seem to be sweaty are where the girth is and along the front saddle (a line down behind his shoulders) this has happened recently as i spoke to saddler about my fairly new saddle rubbing at the back a bit as the saddle 'wiggled' as he walked, and was told to take the front shims out of my numnah as it was probably a bit high at the front. i did that and now, although the wiggling has improved, the saddle feels as if its tipping forward, but it doesnt look it from the ground, and these weird sweat marks have appeared!! ggrr saddles are so frustrating! saddler is coming out in a few weeks but i want him to be comfy until then, so any idea whats causing this? xxx
 
I know nothing but my mare doesn't sweat 'evenly' during a ride. Sweaty girth and sweaty shoulders but usually much drier under the saddle.... isn't that normal?
 
It's not really possible to tell that much from sweat patterns - can you have someone video you ride so you can see what is going on? They will need to get in reasonably close. Equally if you can post photos of the static fit (no pad, girthed firmly) then we might be able to help.
