Re: RC: saddle pad

[Jennifer Thompson <jlthompson@earthlink.net>]

Hi Levon,

I also have a Desoto saddle - I love it!  I did not order her pad, 
though, since I already had an almost new pad from Sharon Saare.

My Desoto fits so well, that I find I really don't need a thick pad.  I 
have been using Sharon Saare's slim cotton pad (it's about 1/2" thick), 
with her very thin cotton liner pad (it just keeps the other pad clean, 
really - it's great to just throw in the washing machine) underneath. 
 This allows for good contact with my horse, not a really bulky feeling. 
 So far so good!   I haven't even been using a breast collar and my 
saddle and pad have stayed put even climbing steep hills.

But I guess that would have a lot to do with conformation too, so your 
mileage may vary.  :)
