Saddleright pad

["Laurel Hickey" <hickeylaurel@hotmail.com>]

Hi guys,

I'm coming out of lurk mode......regarding the recent thread about saddle 
pads, and since the archives are not functioning, I'd like to ask a question 
about the Saddleright pads.  According to the manufacturer, these are the 
best pads for _all_ horses in every known discipline.  Are any of you using 
a Saddleright?  They're awfully expensive, but I'm getting desperate. I know 
they are lined with wool felt, but I wonder about heat buildup.  They also 
sell a thin wool liner you can use under the pad. http://www.saddleright.com

I've been using a woolback pad with and without ultra-cell inserts, but find 
it's just not working that well, too bulky and causing rubs on my mare's 
withers, while other pads do not. Believe me, I made many custom 
modifications to my pads to try and get them off her.  And I know the root 
of all evils is not the pad, but the saddle fit.  I'm doing the best I can!  
The Free & Easy saddles sound promising.

I just bought a used Kurfurst Von Bayern endurance saddle and am considering 
using the Saddleright.  I do CTR here in the Northeast on a Standardbred.

Thanks for any and all input,

Laurel Hickey in NY
