Greetings fellow horse lovers. I am having a great time reading all the
stuff on the mailing list and still seem to be only one of the few from the
north east, i have been telling all my friends they must sign up. any way
Shai and I are going to be in our first
ride, a competitive trail ride of 25 miles, at Mendon Ponds Park in
Rochester, NY we are very excited. I need some advice on what type of saddle
pad you pro's use, neoprene closed cell, the new SMX pad, just plain old
fleece. not felt i have one and cover or not my saddle slides right up on
Shai's neck if we even have the slightest down hill and all our trails are up
and down. also we have to have a breast collar neoprene, felt or fleece?
loose or snug ? Appreciate any advice and again I love this mail list :-)

happy trails,

Bobbi and Shai
