Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I need a cut-out over the tailbone which leaves out most padded underwear. Padding actually makes things worse by "pushing back". Hard is better. I had my old saddle tricked out pretty good. Unfortunately, it didn't fit the horse well anymore and it had foam panels and couldn't be adjusted plus it was just too big for me, even with the pads I used. It was a pretty good set up for avoiding butt pain though.
Then I slapped a seat saver over the top.
With my current saddle, I have a piece of a Thin Line pad with a triangle cut out of the back and a ThinLine seat saver over the top. That helps but I need to go find another white pad. It is a little thicker and keeps me away from the saddle better. I just don't have as much room in the seat of the current saddle. I did try the Prestige X-Breath. Really nice saddle and horse went nicely in it. However the demo was only a 17 inch. It actually has a cut out for the tailbone but in the smaller saddle, the cut out wasn't in the right place for me and I was right against the cantle which was really uncomfortable. Yep...it was too small. They only make a 17 and an 18 and I'm not sure that an inch more is enough? I wish they made and 18.5. I will see how the injections go. If things get a lot better, I might give that saddle a whirl.
I keep trying. You have got to give me an "A" for effort .
