[RC] saddle woes - Ridecamp Guest

Hi........I've reading ridecamp for about a year now.........just got my 4 year 
old Arab back from her 30 days of training.........and have been on a whole two 
trail walks......about 45 minutes each.........rode her in my Sport 
Saddle.....(which I've used for about a year on my app/tb and had no 
problems).........well.......I noticed on the rides that the saddle was doing 
some sliding forwards and backwards.........and after checking her over 
discovered she's sore in her left shoulder up high (slightly below the 
withers).........I saddled her up and checked....and it really is tight in that 
spot..........and upon further checking found that she's unevenly muscled in 
her shoulders....with her left being the stronger......So.........now I guess I 
need to change saddles........Any advice as to what kind of saddle would best 
fit my horse's situation?  From what I've seen, the Rector Panel looks like the 
best bet with her uneven shoulders...............I also liked the 
Ansur......both are extremely pricey though......Thanks for the help.....Erin
