Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | BM original, riding with a Saddleright pad and a wool fleece cinch (pro choice I think). I was using a CE soft touch that I liked, but bought a cinchy horse that didn't care for the neoprene, so I switched. It works fine, I didn't notice any extra rolling. |

| We ride in BM originals. For pads, we like the Saddleright best. We've tried Skito, CSI, Classic Equine ESP, Impact Gel, Equipedic and a few more - and Saddleright has by far been the best. My 2nd choice is Equipedic.
For cinches, we've have tried lots of those too - Sport Cincha, 5-star, mohair, Equipedic, Professional's Choice, and more. The one our horses seem to like the best is a cheap ($11.00) fleece cinch!

| I ride in a BM original. I have a 5 Star and a CE ESP, I prefer the 5 Star. I just use a vented neoprene cinch, I have not had trouble with it so far. |

| I have a Just B Natural treeless. I've used Reinsman fleece bottom pads, 5 Star and a Saddleright knock off. Prefer the 5 star.
I've used a neoprene cinch, but am going to try a felt cinch. My horses don't really care, but I personally don't like the neoprene, too hot. |

Location: Smack Dab in the Middle | BM Original, and so far the best combo I've found is an AirFlex cinch and CE ESP wool top pad (the kind with the two seperate felt pieces on the bottom side. I have a gelding that is really broad but has higher withers, and tried a mohair roper cinch and had trouble with roll. Also tried a CSI pad at one point, and didn't care for it at all, but have a few friends that swear by them. |

Location: Natchitoches, La. | Just got my just B natural and worked great with my Best Ever pad and felt smart cinch. Before I got this saddle was using original bob Marshall with same pad and cinch. My mare doesn't like neoprene . My pad is 3/4 inch |

| Original Bob Marshalls on both horses. Wool cinch by Pro Choice on one, mohair on the other. Saddle slides with the mohair cinch on the first horse but not the second.
ETA: Saddleright pads on both

| I have a Tammy Fischer and BM and use thinline or 5 star pad 1/2 in. The thinner the pad the better I have noticed and a fleece cinch. |

Location: Georgia | I ride an older Circle Y Bob Marshall. Same saddle on two different horses. I use smx air ride pads on both but different thicknesses. My mare is a little more swaybacked so she needs a thicker pad. I use a neoprene girth on one and a fleece on the other. I don't have any problems with sore backs or slipping. |

| With a BM the thinner the pad the less rolling. I used several types of giths whatever the horse liked.
