I'm having exceptionally good luck
with my new Equi-pedic pad. Doesn't slip, saddle stays exactly where you
put it, and best of all, my horse is obviously happy with it.
He descends hills more freely than he has since I've had
him.
A friend of mine has a super-slick coated (also slab sided) horse on who
the saddle pad slides terribly. She's starting to use a neoprene girth
which may help, but are there any pads that "stick" better than others?
She has to girth the poor horse very tight just so she can get on without the
saddle sliding sideways, and then it really slips back going uphill. She
has an Aussie saddle that has a thin wool material pad, but this also happens
with a western saddle and thick western pad..
