I have two. I really like it on the one horse (she actually is ridden in a LM). I went with a different pad with the new saddle I got and I like it a little better. I have my other one under a martin but it is on my small horse and she really needs a smaller pad. Also, I think the martin would fit her better with a different pad too. I may sell the second one.
Overall, I am a fan. And I agree, it is a harder pad but I like it.
