How can I prevent my saddle slipping forward?

Q No matter what saddle I try, I end up half way up my horse’s neck. Why is this happening? Can I do anything to prevent this?

A There are numerous reasons for this and the above photo only illustrates one—it could be a conformation problem see Forward Girth Line, Saddle Slipping Forward Higher Behind than in Front to see if anything applies –or it could be that you are trying inappropriate saddles for this conformation. Hopefully you will find the answers under some of the headings listed for this problem. If not, don't hesitate to contact us.
