Location: Alabama | How do you keep your saddle from rolling on a wide/round horse? I'm sick to death of loping three circles and having to stop and pull my saddle back to the middle.
I've got a 1/2" 5 star pad, properly adjusted cinch, and snugged up flank cinch. What else can I do? Help! |

Location: Idaho | Yep, new saddle. I'm going through this too!
On my old man, who was short as all get out but made up for in width, the CJ Record breaker fit him perfect. I think that's what I'm going to have to go for on my colt, who I never thought would get that big lol |

Location: Alabama | Is there anything out there with a tree similar to the cactus CJ tree but that has a deeper seat? I had one a few years ago and hated it. Shallow seat, short swells, feet couldn't get forward, etc. I'm short and thick. The CJ just wasn't a balanced ride for me. |

I would give a Double J Pozzi wide a try.. |

This is what I ride my wide/flat backed mare in, and the roll has stopped. |

Location: Alabama | Interesting! I'll see if anyone around me has one I can try! Thanks! Would any of you ladies care to share pictures of your horses that the Pozzi fits? With/without the saddle? |

| Not the best pictures, but she's very flat backed with not a whole lot of withers.

| Try a saddle pad called the won. It won't matter be & cheaper than a saddle, if that's not an option. |

Location: Alabama | I'm going to look up the won pad as well. I'm using a brand new professionals choice fleece cinch currently. Pad is clean. I get the same slip with the saddle right pad. Neoprene cinch doesn't help either. I've tried four different saddles so far. The struggle is real y'all! Thanks for the ideas! It is appreciated! |
