I have used equalizer pads for 5 years now.  I love them!  More importantly, my horses do!  They don't soak up moisture and the covers are easy to throw in the wash and line dry.  Real wool next to horses back.  The inserts are very dense cushion, like that found in expensive running shoes.  Whole thing is light in weight.

I am ordering at least 1 and maybe 2 more pads in the next few months.  With spring on the way, and more than 1 horse trotting miles now, I will need extras to rotate as the first drys.

Definately worth the money.

Subject: RC: a few questions

Does anyone have experience with an Equalizer Saddle Pad ? They have the foam inserts and come in 1/2, 3/4 and 1 inch thickness.The standard is 3/4 inch. I have a collegiate senior event saddle. It has a centerred seat like a dressage seat versus a forward hunt seat.  I am needing a saddle pad that has thicker padding to pad the underside of either gullet. I am also going to make arrangements for a professional saddle fitter ( not associated with a particular saddle fit company) to double check my saddle fit.

 

Also has anyone tried one of the sportpacks that fit like a sleeve over the cantle of an english saddle with a sheepskin seat cover over the seat ? Will this work or could I with a few creative adjustments make this work ?
