[RC] black pad - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Lauretta tikitiki69@xxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I use both a black and a dark blue saddle pad on Shaba. I have not seen any affect on his ability to cool off or pulse down. He drops very quickly (usually under 60 by just coming into a vet check, letting him have a drink of water, then walking over to the pulse taker; about a 2-3 min timespan at most). He is a grey, however, so a darker color horse may have a different result. Although, I would think that the material of the pad and the thickness would be the factor in heat dissipation, as well as how much it covered the back, and not the pad color itself.... Lauretta and Shaba (I have a black saddle and pad, red breast collar, black crupper, purple bridle and turquoise reins...good thing I don't model for GQ, my mom is totally color-coordinated challenged......) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
