Troubleshooting
Saddle cloth slides backward while riding
Ensure the touch-close girth keepers are securely fastened around the girth and that the saddle is properly girthed.
Fabric appears worn at the girth area
Check that the reinforced strap areas are aligned correctly with the girth; avoid over-tightening girth straps which can cause unnecessary friction.
