To buy or not to buy?

[Damnation]

My mare is the most akward horse to fit a saddle to. No matter what saddle she has on it comes down at the front and up at the back (Wierd shape), but if we go narrower, its too tight and due to a previous shoulder injury she is sensitive to this.
Her new saddle is an Ideal Dressage Saddle (its not a new one, but it fits better than most and doesn't come off her back too much, its literally not even a cm but its definately coming down at the withers) and it comes down at the front and up at the back so its been decided to get a front riser pad to even this out. I was browsing on ebay and I saw this.

Has anyone had experience of these pads and will they be more comfortable for her? Unfortunately a prolite pad is just way out of the question budget wise!
Any help appriciated!

not with that brand sorry but have used front risers before and they are good must admit I tend to use the prolite as they are so good.
You could prabably pick one of those up on ebay in your price range.

Good luck

have you considered memoform pads as they will provide for the inaccuacies of the fit of your saddle.
