Is there a western pad out there that is like 1/2 inch thick in the rear while having like a gradual slip towards the front and just a little built up?? I have a butt high mare and would just like to lift the front end of the saddle a little....

They're expensive, but for a horse built like this, or any horse really, the Corrector pad is the only way to go.  I struggled for years with this issue and finally bought a VERY used Corrector, then a new set of shims to go in it, and it has made all of the difference in the world.  I love that I can change it from horse to horse and customize it by adding/removing the shims.  Best investment ever!

Classic equine also makes a shim pad, but the graduation is just up in the front, and for me, it didn't have enough lift.  Team Equine makes some pads that are customized like that too, but again, for the difference in price and something that will work long term that you can change as your horse's back changes, the Corrector is the best.
