Extreme Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Fort Bragg North Carolina	I'm looking at these shims for this pad. All the saddles I have tried on this horse fit like this I'm thinking about ordering shims from CSI website. Which one is best for this horse/saddle combo?

Classic equine also makes foam shims that you can lay over the pad and under the saddle to adjust as you need to. That is what I use. I had a CSI but sold it because on my downhill, no wither horse it just didn't allow my saddle to sit down on his back enough. Sorry I'm not much help just thought I would bump this back up for you. :)

Extreme Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Fort Bragg North Carolina	Thank you yes my horse is downhill absolutely no withers. When I have used a foam on top like you are saying I got dry spots which doesn't make sense my saddle felt level even on a non CSI pad same thing. I have 6 saddles none that fit her and I've spent years trying to find the perfect saddle and I've just decided to go with my best saddle and use shims but not sure which is better in the pic

Extreme Veteran Posts: 422 Location: Fort Bragg North Carolina	That's what the website says but if my saddle pops up in the back and goes downhill like in the pic which would benefit? I was thinking the swayback shim would help w bridging?? Not sure
