I pull my shims all the way up to the front of the saddle so it doesnt cause a pressure point. But maybe im doing it wrong

This is correct.

SuperTrooper you need to place your shim more forward. It should be like what southtxpony posted. The front of the shim should extend PAST the front of the saddle.

....also your saddle pad is crooked. Make sure that is straight when you saddle up (if there is one thing I am anal about, it's having everything exactly in its place).

Are you using the classic equine shim? I have a shim but mare is maturing and think I need a thinner one so curious what you're using!
