Saddle fitting

My grey horse, Gossip, an anglo-arab, has always been rather crooked as
a result of early age injuries. Many massages plus exercises especially
devised for her needs have helped a lot, but there are still imbalances.

A horse therapist, well recommended to me has been seeing her, and
giving me massages to perform regularly, which have been helpful. However
on her most recent visit, when we discussed riding the horse again, the
therapist suggested not only using her recommended air-filled Puffa blanket,
but also my thick wool saddle blanket, as well as a folded blanket etc.
under the saddle.

When I asked how would the horse feel my seat aids, she
just looked startled!

Comments please.
