[RC] Saddle fits or not? Or just get a new pad? - LaBrake, Denise A

We have been using a new saddle the past 5 weeks. Tucker endurance.
It appears to fit well, however, after riding I notice two spots that
are more wet then the rest of my Mares back.

A couple days later when we were grooming for our next ride I 
noticed some dry skin come off as I groomed her in those two spots.

Is this a sign of the saddle not fitting or is it something like you all
were
discussing earlier about the horse being out of shape and young, with a
young rider
schooling her? That's us! 

We've been out of the saddle for 3 years and just got back in the saddle a
couple
months ago recently increasing our rides to 3 to 4 times per week as of end
of August.

I'm hoping we can fix it. We like the Tucker endurance saddle. I'm thinking
we need 
a new pad but do not know where to start.  Going to be doing as much trail 
riding as possible so any suggestions would be great before we buy. 

We are using a Millers Cool Back now. Don't really have sweating  problems
even 
after a good 5 hours in warm weather. Just the norm. However, I don't think
the pad 
fits the saddle enough in the rear, at bit short. The pad is for a an All
Purpose English 
Saddle. My Arab's short back is an issue with pads, none of the square stuff
will go at all!

Thanks,
