Need saddle pad to lift front of saddle: Suggestions?

My horse April has a classic QH build and wears a full QH bar saddle. i took her to the best saddle fitter in the area and bought a saddle that seemed to fit her really well. My problem now is that the saddle seems to drop too low on the front, leaving the back of the saddle tilted up. My friend suggested a saddle pad that has the extra padding in the front that she uses with a couple of her QH that have a similar build.


My question to you is this: What saddle pad would you recommend that will address the problem and is a good value?

Unless she has muscled up, fat squashes and shouldn't change the fit of the saddle. Lots of people say they are fitters when they are merely sales clerks. The only true fitters belong to the Master Saddlers of America and are certified. Most saddlemakers understand fit but they can be scarce in some locales. I agree with Joe, you need to have a chat with this "fitter". It's like asking a car salesman what car is best suited to you.
