Re: [RC] saddle pad heat comparison testing - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Kathy Myers magnumsmom@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Candance wrote: "Hi All, Interesting testing of saddle pads done by an independent agency for Equipedic. Click directly on the graphs to get a larger readable picture. [...] " Yup. Very interesting... seeing as the graphs stop at 1 hour and say nothing about actually using the pad under a saddle while riding a horse. The page only says that allegedly a pad and a 20 pound saddle were placed on "a heat source" (thus apparently not even a horse) and mesurements were taken for 1 hour. The independant study I like is the one done by the endurance riding student posted a while back here on RC and done out in CA. She showed what the heat profile looked like while actually riding the same horse for different pads with the same saddle during and after several hours on the same training loop. For those who want to know, the Supracor was hands down the coolest between the pad and the back of the horse in her study. I feel OK in saying this as it is a rebuttal to Candance's email and I have no financial interest in posting this. Am I the only one who is getting rather ill of all of the self promotional posting on RC these days?
