| I've tried a csi, sensor flex, gel inpact and tod slone. Everything slips, I made my first run in it this weekend and thought I had it figured out and it slipped. I have tried different cinches and just does not feel right, thinking I need to sell it and look for something different.... |

me too. It may be that the saddle is just a poor fit all together, but I have only had saddles slip if the pads are too thick. Your cinch may be too short or long too as a cinch really is just personal like-I prefer mohair. Neoprene can really sore one up as they don't breath at all. |

It could be a poor fit. I'd like to see pictures. How thick of pads are being used, etc... |

| Tod slone is 1/2", the gel inpact is a thin one, 3/4" csi, sensorflex does not say thickness and a ricotti pad. Horse does have a sway back and I've tried shimming too. Going to try post a picture!

Location: Oklahoma | What about a pad similar to the Classic Equine Bio Fit that is built up more where the horse is a little swayed back? |

Location: Where you need a paddle... Oregon! | I use a 5-Star. I will say that the saddle and pad fit my one horse perfectly, with no issues. Same pad and saddle seem to slip on my other horse. It isn't bad, just enough that when I'm there all day doing 8 events I have to loosen my cinch and readjust a few times. |
