![]() Before I tighten the girth, I try to lift up and “tent” everything but it just doesn’t stay tented. It’s doing it right from the get-go when I tack up. I wouldn’t say that things are sliding around while I ride. I have heard good things about ThinLine and I have seen the structured/shaped ones they make, which were actually the ones I was looking at because of it. I know when my mare is lacking muscle along her back the saddle pads slip too. That one would be useful if you have multiple horses you need to adjust your saddle too because it can take shims in the front and back.įor the most part things shouldn’t really be sliding around under the saddle so maybe get the fit checked. I use thinline half pads - one is the thinline material and underneath is a cotton material with the fleece/fur around the edges (which is just aesthetic). You need to look for something with a bit of structure. Although, there are things 3+ hours away but I have a hard time loading up for that when I can get to a barrel race in 20 minutes. There weren’t any jumping shows in my area this year so we didn’t even go anywhere for jumping, but sounds like there might be a couple things in the works for next year. ![]() I just looked through my computer and I don’t really have a good photo that seems to show the pad NOT tenting. It’s currently -10*F this morning here in North Dakota so no, I am not about to go outside and take any new pictures, LOL. At least it’s usually back far enough I don’t feel it’s putting any pressure on the withers but I still don’t like it.Īnother trainer I have taken lessons with in the past (she helped me figure out this saddle would fit, so I could find a used one) really loved the TC half pads and said they are really great for shock absorption so I always use it.īut I wonder if I should try to find something else? Or is that normal for a TC half pad? Seems to me with it being made of leather, it’s probably not going to tent like I want? I took a riding lesson last weekend and she commented on it too. I do feel like I have difficulty getting the half pad to “tent” on my horse’s back. When I bought it, it came with a Tad Coffin leather half pad. I have a used Tad Coffin A5 saddle that has seemed to fit all my horses and is quite comfortable for me. ![]() I’ll preface that I am primarily a western rider that just dabbles in English.
