Hi All,
I have been enjoying this thread and am interested in it.  Yesterday a 
distance riding friend was telling me that she has also began to take 
dressage lessons.  She mentioned that she had read in the an English horse 
magazine, she said it compared the the USA's "Practial Horseman" that there 
was a reccomendation to use a dressage saddle on horses who had the saddle 
slip forward on downhills.  The reason being, the sadddle fits behind the 
shoulders and this keeps it place on decents.  I have terrible problems with 
saddle slipage on my mare on downhills, and so was interested in this point 
of view.  Would any of you who now ride in dressage saddles like to comment 
on this?  I have not been able to read the article my self, so the info is 
second hand and I hope I am repeating it right.  Thanks in advance for any 
commments.
Cheers,
Maureen
