Re: [RC] favorite saddle pads for English saddles - Chris Paus

Count me in the Duett lover's club! My roly poly mare was hard to fit too. Treeless just rolled on  her and other saddles just weren't wide enough.
I got the basic Duett rondo and it fits her like a glove! I had to get a 36 cm. I plan
 to  get a Toklat wool or a sheepskin pad for competition. I've had good luck with wool pads for my other horses.

I recently sold my Bob Marshall sport saddle after falling in love with a
Duett Companion Trail saddle - finally, a conventional saddle that fit my
round mare wonderfully. I am thrilled to be back in an English saddle, but
now that it is time to start conditioning, I'm looking to get some more
endurance-specific saddle pads (right now, I'm just riding in cheapy AP
pads). I know this topic has been covered before, but I haven't been able to
use the right search terms to find the discussions in the archives. I don't
need anything like a supracor or a skito - my saddle fits my mare really
well and will be profressionally reflocked after a month or so of
conditioning, so I don't want extra padding to disrupt the fit. I'm assuming
I'll probably want wool, because the main goal will be breathability. I also
prefer something that is easy to clean - ideally I can throw it in the
washing machine on delicate cycle (can I do that with 100% wool pads?). So
far, I'm planning on the Toklat pads, sans any inserts. I'm also interested
in the Dixie Midnight pads - could I use a cheapie pad over top of these?
I'm concerned that my mare, who is very thin skinned, might night appreciate
the Dixie. Are there any other pads you really like?

Thanks!
