Re: [RC] Skito vs Equipedic & Abettas - GoTory

Have to "Ditto" Karla's experience here- and have seen several horses lately 
who had been conditioned with the regular Skito which were coming up with 
white patches- NOT in the usual saddle sore areas, but rather down both sides 
of 
the back, about 2 inches from the spine... Riders changed pads- one to felt and 
one to a Podium with the Simpatex padding, and the white areas are going 
away.........heat build up??
In my own very limited experience, I've used a Supracor when they first came 
out and PROMISED it wouldnt slip........it did, and I sent it back.  Used a 
Skito but felt like the heat was staying in my horse's back, so, following 
RideCamp recommendations, got an Equipedic at the Expo and am really happy with 
it! 
So is the mare- no flinching in the back after some long, hot rides......
Had an Abetta endurance model a few years ago and "thought" I was happy with 
it- but got dumped frequently til I learned the twist was too wide for me... I 
also found the 
seat really slippery!  Must work for a lot of people tho- and the price and 
wgt are right..
