The July 1999 issue of Western Horseman has a picture of
this kind of pad on page 104.  We have two pads like this and like
them a lot.  I was hesitant to use them until I read on RideCamp that
someone had used one on a 50 mile ride and it worked well.  They are
very easy to clean (just hose off) and dry quickly.  They don't slip
on the horse's back and they keep the back cooler.   It is kind
of hard to tell the top from the bottom.  The bottom has a coarser
(or rougher) appearance than the top.
