What numnah do you use?

You have a new saddle coming so presumably it fits really well. You need a very thin numnah/saddle cloth as anything thicker will spoil the fit & tighten the saddle up over your horses withers & back & you don't want that. Forget sheepskin lined cloths & polypads as you shouldn't need them. A simple plain thin numnah will surfice. Good Luck.

Ahh this is the thing (saddle is a changeable gullet thing - to replace the old changeable gullet thing

) so saddler is seeing it the end of this week to fit it for me ..

I am debating having it fitted with my nice thick numnah and prolite (because I am paranoid about her back) but I think that may be a bad idea

Can you sense I am *slightly* nuts

I use the HKM saddlecloths too, or Inch's own. They are thin enough not to disturb the saddle fit, but are soft and absorbant. I don't like using think sadlecloths if the saddle has been properly fitted. Ditto half pads, unless the saddle is designed to take one under it (some fitters allow for this).

...not for competition obviously but its the only place I could find dressage cut saddle cloths that were'nt black or white.

Quality is excellent and they arrived pretty quick....I would highly recommend

Yes I see what you mean .. ofcourse I shall just do what the saddler says but I am soo paranoid about her back that I have to get over my irrational hate of thin numnahs
