Checked the saddle position tonight. Clear the shoulder blade and don't extend past the last rib. With her short back, not much margin for error. Then looked at how the new saddle pad seemed to work. I think it's going to work fine. 3/8 inch wool felt with about 1/4 inch felt shims under the bars of the saddle. It's going to sit higher than the old foam pad, even with my fat butt on her. That raised the saddle up high enough to keep the skirt from putting pressure on her back without being as thick as the typical western pad.
Forgot to readjust the breast collar. Oh well, can do before the next ride. Hopefully it'll cool off soon so we won't bake on the trail.
