Its the saddle fit not the pad. WE had people check the fitting of the saddle on my horse and they said it was perfect. hat all the pressure was even and rested on his back just fine!

Buttered Noodles Snacker Posts: 4377 Location: NC	I have heard that Western Legend pads are good for not sliding back. I have a old one I like because it is thick, and a little stiff so it doesn't collapse in the dip behind the shoulders and its contoured so it doesn't put pressure on the withers. I am not crazy about how they look but seem like nice pads.

Born not Made Posts: 2931 Location: North Dakota	Ashlen1515 - 2015-06-16 5:34 PM 5 star pads=do they slide back at all?? they good quality? I agree with the others that if your saddle is sliding back, then there is something off with the fit. I've used 5 Star pads for about 5 years now and I will never switch to anything else. I love them. Excellent quality.
