The Heather Moffat Seat Saver is a suede covered squashy pad to cover the top part of your saddle. It is held in place by straps under the saddle and fits any saddle. The pad lies flat when put on unlike synthetic fur pads, which tend to rise up and down with the rider when new.
Available from saddlers and mail order in brown and black priced between £35 and £45. However the quality is excellent.
I bought one several months ago to use with a cheap saddle which fits my young, odd- shaped horse well but has a slippery seat. I have been delighted by it as is once in the saddle you are placed in the correct position and seem almost glued there. As this is used on a nervous, at times stroppy thoroughbred I have found it has boosted my morale as well as bolstering my behind.
The comfort level of this saddle went from 0-60 in the 2 minutes it took to fit and the overall appearance of this saddle was also improved. The only thing I dislike about the seat saver is that hair and bits stick to it easily. This is only a minor disadvantage as they brush off well again.

I'm saving the pennies as we speak!! I have a TB mare with a temper! She has a good rear on her and a little extra help to keep my bum on the saddle is worth any amount of money! :o)
