I am riding in a Tammy Fischer barrel saddle with a contoured relief 1/2 inch diamond wool pad. I just got the saddle and first ride noticed when i took the saddle off that there was even sweat marks but roughed hair on both sides of my horses back. I know roughed hair means saddle is slipping, so do i need a different pad? Back cinch? Smaller cinch in front? I am still using my regular cinch from my treed saddle and heard that you need a smaller cinch??
Did you get the regular fit or the wide fit? I know girls around here use a tacky pad under their Tammy and Jackie so it doesn't slip. I'm very surprised you can use your regular cinch. I had to go with a much shorter cinch.
The regular fit. Well and thats why im wondering maybe thats part of the problem? When i cinch i am wrapping it a gazillion times to make it work. Ill try a smaller one and see how it effects it. What pad do you use?

Yes you need a smaller cinch for any treeless saddles. I bet with different cinch it might help with the slipping. I would think 1/2 Diamond wool pad would be good.

I am going to agree with SOUTHTXPONYGIRL...smaller cinch for treeless saddles. Although I will enphasize again to all.. please measure your animal correctly and make sure that the saddle is made for your measurement... you can end up hurting your baby....
TREELESS SADDLE HELP!! PLEASE
