When I get on her from the ground, the saddle (its western) slips to the side, and its soo annoying because when I put all my weight to the right it still doesn’t straighten up. Shes really fat right now and barely has any withers (but shes losing weight, and I’m starting to see them again). I lunge her before I ride and when I tighten the saddle I know it’s not too loose. So should I just get on her with like a stool or mounting block for now? Or is there anything that would help this? I don’t want to buy like a special saddle pad or anything thats expensive (my family is not rich xD). And also my saddle does fit properly, (its like.. almost full QH bars I think) it just might be a tad small because it moves forward a little but it doesn’t bother her at all, and since shes pretty round right now it will fit her better when shes back in shape.
Also when I get on her she walks right away before I can put my foot in the stirrup and straighten the saddle, and when I try to stop her she walks right away again and when I pull back on the reins I feel like I’m pulling too hard sometimes to get her to stop (and I hate doing that). It’s so annoying, you can yell "whoa" all you want, she just won’t listen, what can I do to fix this? I’m sick of having to get someone to hold her when I get on. But when I stop her to get off shes fine and won’t walk off on me.
Forgot to mention, the saddle only slips forward when I lunge her. It’s synthetic so it’s super light.
I don’t mean a stool like a bar stool type thing, I mean a foot stool xD
Wowwww. I never said she was too tall. Shes actually a 13.3 hand pony -_-.

Okay, im at a major crossroad in my existance. This answer could prove futile to the realm in which i currently reside.

I watch tv, so I know how banana peels are supposed to work.

Ive put peels on the roads, no cars ever slip, they just crush my peels.
Ive put peels on the carpet, no avail,(Mom was super pissed)
ive put peels in the shower.
Ive put peels on the kitchen bar stools
ive put peels on the toilet

I seem to just keep getting in trouble and im grounded now, so I have time to think this one thorugh, but no luck.

What am i doing wrong, I get yelled at but no one slips, ever. Is this banana peel thing real? If so what am i doing wrong.

Please help:(

ok my son is 13 months old almost 14 months he was born 3 months prem. in the last 3 weeks he has learned to pull himself up onto furniture and is getting brave and letting go! the thing is he is covered in small bruises mostly on his knees and elbows and on on his forehead from falling. i do keep an constant eye on him and the best part of my day is spent sitting on the floor with him making sure he doesn’t fall, but sometimes he it just happens. and also he sleeps in his cot in his own room and he got the bruise on his forehead from whacking it off the bars in his cot when he fell. even though i bought a cot bumper!! uhhh!! its just really bugging me because he looks like a battered child with the bruise on his forehead!! is it normal and if so how long does this phase last for?? thanks for all your answers in advance:)
hey mister armywrit…. fair play for been a single father. but what the difference between a crib and a cot?? my son sleeps in a cot thats about 5 inches off the floor and has 2 foot bars on it!! he trys to pull himself up onto the bars thats how he slips and bumps his head.
