has arrived. now all i need is for the ear to recover some more so i am safe to get on! and then we'll see if that helps/works. Might be able to persuade Gaynor to get on Saturday if I'm still not right (improving, but not worth taking chances with obviously!) but that'll depend on her saturday going to the usual plan, which with a 3 year old doesn't always happen! (her son, that is, not her horse!)

Did you have the foam before? Why the change?

you haven't been keeping up, Caroline, was sure I'd posted about that. :-)
Realised that the prolite was too low on the wither. heather recommended the mattes pad, duly collected from her in December; put it on with the moulded panels and found that the centre seam of the mattes was on her spine, completely no good! so, I've been sent a suberpanel to see if that works.... if it don't, it'll be back to the drawing board (possibly the new vogue, which frankly is a much better shape for TB's and i keep saying, i wished i'd waited a year!)
At the risk of being stoned, Peter DeCosemo is there in England selling his version of the Ansur. The Freestyle is his version of the US Carlton, which might work well for you. Here's a link: http://www.totalsaddlesolutions.com/
I use the Ansur Classic on everybody and it has virtually no wither clearance as it's designed to sit evenly on the horse's back. I have never had any back/wither issues at all with anybody. That's Peter's Energist. The Freestyle has a gullet for lateral stabilization. I have one of those too but don't use is as much because the stirrups are set a bit more forward and it feels much more like a conventional saddle than the very close contact feel of the Classic. Just a thought in case the prolite panels don't do the job--though I think they will.
jean, i've seen peter's saddles at shows ... didn't like the look, TBH. and it's the prolite that's not working, the suberpanel should. Molly being asymmetrical it evens all that out. anyway, we'll see. no stones - everyone has made up with peter, who apparently didn't want that lawsuit anyway (and is, therefore, back over here...)
Oops. That's right, the Prolite is not the superpanel.
Kind of have the concept. The superpanel is the "corky" stuff, right? Should mold to Molly's individual shape.
that's it. that's the idea. fingers crossed.
