so dense, may I ask of the experiences you other riders have had with
the pad in question and with other pads<<<<
I have an Equipedic pad, and used it on two 50 milers
with two different horses using the same saddle (a cheap Abetta with a
thousand (literally) miles on it.) I felt the pad caused the saddle to
fit better on both horses than it had with the 100% wool pad I had used
previously. In both horses I had previously seen dry spots on either
side of the withers without the Equipedic- no spots or tenderness with.
I would say though, that it is best to keep the pad in a heated area the night
before a ride, as it does get stiff in the cold, and takes a bit to warm up
and shape itself to the horse.
