Haunted saddle.. (20 characters)?
So I have this saddle and it always slips sideways, like I will put it real tight and I have a brest plate it fits good ive had 2 professional saddle fitters out and when ever my friends ride it's fine but if me or my sister ride in it it flips under the 2 of my horses it fits and we fall I've never had this problem and I have fairly good balance, it's western btw, It will go right under my horse. And I make sure she sucks in before I tighten it, what could be the problem?!
Just to set the record straight - horses don't "bloat up" or "hold their breath" when you go to tighten the cinch or girth, What they do is tense the pec muscles in anticipation of the cinch/girth being tightened very tight very quickly and it becomes a habit. They are doing it to try to avoid a very unpleasant or even painful feeling.
That said, I think that the only answers to your question are that either you guys are not tightening your cinch enough. Tighten it enough to hold the saddle in place, walk your horse around, walk, tighten, walk, tighten. Get on. You are also likely off balance, as a good rider with very good balance can actually ride (on a quiet horse) with a somewhat loose cinch. SOMEWHAT loose, I say. The other thing you can do is to use a non-slip grip pad or a chamois.
At any rate, you should always recheck your cinch before galloping or going up or down steep hills, as when a horse relaxes and/or your weight has squished down the saddle pad, the cinch does need to be retightened.
