RE: [RC] [RC] Another Saddle-related Question... - Diana Peterson

Ohhh yes i can comment.... I have 3 Skito Pads with 100 % wool bottom ...two for my Sharon Saare saddle and one for my Bob Marshall saddle...
They are worth every EVERY penney. Since i have 100 % wool bottoms my horse does GREAT...no more back soreness from saddles slipping around ... and i don't have to girth so tight anymore either. Also the heat and sweet dissipation is much better .. My BM saddle used to slide when i used the Toklat pad ( they are NOT 100 % wool ...they are a 80/20 mix) And my horses back got a lot hotter. during rides. With a Sktio pad with the wool bottom that does not happen anymore. I don't have to use a crupper either and lots of times i don't use a breastcollar. But then i live in TX ...no many hills here.

I can only recommend the Skito pads..... I recently had Questions about the pads and April Battles send me to talk to Tom who makes the skito pads and he was REALLY helpful.. and i just got my pad today... I am a heavy weight rider and wanted some more protection for my horses back when i do ride the BM saddle... Tom has a new foam out that will accommodate people like me ... .

Like i said ... i am sold on the Skito's.

Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire.
It is a grand passion.
It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I'm the man of many questions today. Sorry.

I was wondering about saddle pads for the horse. Everyone seems to rave about the Skito pads, but they are upwards of $200 and I just can't see leaving a $200 piece of equipment lying around at a vet check hold, etc.

Running bear has some Toklat woolback/coolback pads for about half that price.

Can anyone comment on these, or any other pads, worth considering? I know that Skito pads are probably worth the money... and may very well buy one... but the price just seems extravagant.
