Thanks! I only rode it about a mile (HOUSE was about to come on!) but it WAS slippery and I WAS sliding forward if I wasn't careful. I assume that means the nose needs to be raised, even though it doesn't look like it?

Also, I'm sitting way on the very back of the saddle, same as the other one. I can't figure out if that's the typical place or if I'm sitting way back behind where people typically sit. But it feels okay when I do that (as long as I don't slide forward).

I put some proofhide on it last night and then polished it. It still feels slick to me. I wonder if I didn't use enough.

Anyway, I'll be riding today! And I need to figure out how to adjust it -- that's a new one for me!
