I ride Cato in an OF Express and used to have same problem, listing to
the right. Went to dressage training to solve Cato's one-sidedness,
trainer sent me to chiropractor to solve MY one-sidedness. Don't know
if it was chicken or the egg, but saddle doesn't list anymore, even when
girth is showing daylight.
