Best item

Well made, thick, protects my horse’s back, looks very nice under saddle

Phenomenal. Nice pad.

This is my favorite saddle pad. I have nothing but great things to say about the overall quality and design of the saddle pad. I only use saddle pads with the wither-slit (for lack of a better word) because my saddle really doesn’t slip backwards or slide when I’m ground mounting. I got this for my bay mare with taller withers and she loves it. I’ve used it on many horses, 14’1 to 16’3. I think that it provides nice cushioning for the horses back, and it sits well on most of their backs and withers. That said this saddle pad looks better and probably fits better on horses 16’ and below. I’ve used this for slow trail rides and full gallops, and the horses never come up sore. It’s a lighter color so I feel more comfortable using it in the summer months. It’s a nice all round saddle pad to have.

really like how this fits w my saddle so far but it does have a pretty thick spine

This is what I needed to star putting a saddle on my young horse and begin her saddle training.

Great pad, super comfy, durable, fit like a glove and beautiful

The horse I am using my Western Saddle on at the moment does not need this Felt pad, so as to confort and easy to clean I cannot comment, but from what I can see it appears to be good value for money (physically, it is what it appears to be). I would think that everyone who rides in a Western saddle, and has the prospect of more than one Horse to ride would wish to have one of these on standby.Jim G
