At this time of year we get a lot of people asking for saddle fittings due to saddle slip. It’s a really tricky problem to solve. We now have plenty of research to back the reasons as to why saddles slip- but here’s my top comments on the subject .
* your horse will undoubtably have changed as we move into springtime ie muscle loss, weight loss ( or should have after winter 😉)
* your horse’s core strength - they also haven’t done as much over winter. Could you carry a heavy weight as easily as you could at your fittest?
* Symmetry of the horse. This is super important. Most saddle slip is actually due to a hindlimb issue!!!
* occasionally rider symmetry or lack of!

Look at your riding in the mirror- do you have one foot sticking out and one foot turned in ? Why is that? Does your horse go well on one rein but not the other ?

So much ridden work is in a schooling arena focused on a pretty head shape in circles when in fact if we really care about our horse being happy to carry us we need to help our horse to go straight. They will then progress to being stronger to be straight in their bodies on a circle and much stronger to carry us. All of these things will be a factor in saddle slip. So yes the saddle must be comfortable and a good fit for the horse and some saddles will make this more or less obvious depending on panel width and horse shape but look at the big picture, the saddle hasn’t suddenly changed - something else has.
