[RC] re: RC stupid questions from a saddle buying virgin - Judy HouleI have had a Bob Marshall Sport Saddle for 10 years. It does not slip. It molds to the shape of the back and you can get away with a loose cinch. It rides like a bareback pad with extra security. I find since I am lower down on my horse's back, my center of gravity is lower and I feel more secure. It is more close contact. You can get certain models with horns, but I find them unecessary. They are very comfortable. Mine is one inch of soft neoprene, and any time I ride a regular saddle it feels like a rock. I have been using a woolback pad with mine and never have had a sore back. If you are a heavyweight rider or ride heavy in the saddle, you might need a more specialized pad, but otherwise they are unecessary.
