My legs and butt are not conformational proportionate according to saddle makers. Small butt and long legs. My butt is much more comfortable in a 16.5 seat, however, my legs need a longer flap, so I ride in a 17.5in. cant afford to have a saddle custom built today, what would you suggest?
Also, I use a thin pad, but my friend has a enough cushion under her saddle to create a sectional sofa. I found through experimenting what pad my mare is more comfortable in, and it did happen to be the thin square pad. Not my favorite of them all, because I find it slips, and even though the girth goes through the straps, and it also has the hook to go on the middle billet. The pad still slips . My other pads dont, but this was a cheaper pad that I actually picked up to go under my good fleece pad, so I didnt get my fleece pad dirty.. what about the gel like pads?
I know I am opening myself up to be completely critisized, but how is my saddle placement.

She doesnt move as freely in that pad, so I did stop using it, but dont have any pictures. I have been switching pads around like crazy! Trying to find which one we like the best!
