I think it's a good choice.

From my experience with the Rookie the saddle places itself on the back of the goat. Meaning, if you put it to far up on the shoulder it will slide back into the correct position just behind the shoulder no matter how tight you pull the cinch - btw, don't tighten the second cinch too much as it will restrict the goats breathing that way.

I don't know how other Rookie owners solved this but I get a good, snug fit of the cinches by working out the correct length with the still open cinch and then clipping it closed (you will see what I mean when you have the Rookie in hand). Clipping it shut and then tightening it has for my always ended in a girth that's slightly too loose and will cause the saddle to slip.

Again, make sure that the girth isn't too snug (you should be able to put two (flat) fingers between cinch and goat and feel slight pressure on your fingers.
