Once the saddle is cinched up it's never moved on me. It's just the storage issue that's bothered me.
The first Cashel I had, I let sit under the saddle all winter on my saddle stand, which is wood. In the spring, there was a permanent indent on the cashell from where it rested on the stand, even with only the weight of the saddle on it. So I learned from that, to save it's softness for when I'm in it.
Yeah, it came with some liturature that said not to put anything on top of it when storeing. I've got an ice chest that stays in my trailer under the saddle racks. I can lay it on that.
