Re: [RC] equipedic pads - Barbara McCraryI have one and I love it! It sits on the horse's back with ample room at the withers, it doesn't slip, nor does the saddle move off it. It gives the horse a nice cushioning between himself and the saddle and leaves an even sweat pattern. I just rode my horse's first 50 miler a couple of weeks ago and he had no problems at all. The one thing I particularly love about it is the fact that it's thick enough to take up the necessary room to make my wide tree saddle fit a horse that doesn't have a wide back. It was a lot cheaper than a new saddle! I haven't found any downside of it yet, but I haven't taken it apart to wash the cover. It seems someone mentioned it is hard to get the inserts back in, but I may be thinking about some other pad. We shall see when the time comes. In the meanwhile, I brush the contact side with a stiff brush to fluff up the nap and remove the horsehair after every ride.
