it helps

if the saddle doesn't slip back...

after i while, I though, why is this going pear shaped more than it should?

eventually molly had a block, which we hadn't had for a while... i got off - and the saddle had slipped back! so i wasn't surprised.

i was trying a griffin nuumed half pad with solid shims under the moulded panel - guess i shouldn't have put the griffin numnah underneath! i thought this might work better than the mattes, which didn't at all, as the shims are more solid and there's no solid seam to cause a rub on the spine should the same propblem as before occurr.

so if i can avoid the rain tomorrow (which i managed successfully today - we were t the hairdressers then went to look at sofas and such, as we don't have one) i shall try without the numnah.

the shop kindly said i could take it back if it doesn't work, after i explained the problem.

Oh, my! That's not good. Sometimes too much padding will do strange things. Guess you need to adjust it all a bit.

Glad you got some riding in between raindrops.
