I don’t do a lot of rides, but I do still get miles
& miles of conditioning done. I use both the ToklatWoolback and the triple thick Coolback
pads. I’ve never had any problem with sore or overheated backs. No skin
problems, no loin rubbing, etc. Sometimes in the summer I use a cut to size ¼
inch thin felt pad underneath & wash it often, saves me from washing the
thicker pads often. One of my 5 horses needs an additional pad, so I’ve
added the Thinline. I use that on top of a standard
thickness Woolback because although the Thinline is not supposed to retain heat, until I know for
sure, I don’t feel comfortable using it next
to the horse. It is recommended for use next to the horse though, so I might
try that after the summer and see if it causing any skin irritation.

No real problems with the pad... but it is the only pad I
own so I will obviously need to acquire more before riding 50s and
100s. Just want to make a good decision on what pad to buy that will do
the job well without being extravagant.
