    [RC] Skito Pads - Chuck and Birgit

    Hi everyone,
     
    I'm pretty new to endurance  ( 3 LD rides and one 50 mile ride)and I have a question about Skito Pads.  I currently ride my horse in a Sports Saddle.  I switched from a Wintec All Purpose and my horse and I love the  new saddle!  I use a Woolback saddle pad and occasionally my saddle will still slip a bit.  Actually it doesn't seem to be the saddle that slips, it's the pad.  I now put the saddle so I have about 2 inches pad peeking out from under the pommel and that helps with the sliding.  I have my girth on pretty tight, so I don't think that's an issue.  The slipping isn't really bad, I ride in the mountains in Virginia without a crupper and not a problem there.  I read some posts about people riding in Sports Saddles with Skito Pads and loving it.  I looked through a Trails End catalog and was a bit dazed by the choices between  Outer Cover and Inner Cover.  I would really appreciate any inputs on the Skito subject.
     
    Thanks,
