they don't have a pic on their website and I have a horse that I think would do well with this pad but I would like to see it first. Also anyone have any thoughts on them? likes, dislikes? the horse I want to put it on has the hollow spot right behind her shoulder. I now have a saddle that will correct the problem if I can get a pad to fill it in well. thanks

I found one. but that's it. When you put the pad on the horse does the added piece sit where it should? it looks like it would be up too close to the front. Is the wool on them soft or stiff?

If I remember I will take a picture of mine. But I have had it for 3 years so the build up isnt as full anymore. I love it.. It made a HUGE difference with my horse.

I believe if you actually put the wither cutout on the wither the built up piece is in the right spot.
As for softness when I felt a brand new one it felt identical to my WELLS 5 star, but is firmer then the new 5 star (this occurred like 10 yrs ago)

It is very important on this pad that you get the correct size, short, medium or long so that the ortho piece sits where it needs to be. My 15.3 hand gelding is very short backed, he wears the same size pad as my 15.1 hand mare. My big mare had to have the long so that the ortho sits in the correct place however the pad itself is too long over her hip, taking it to a boot and shoe repair place to have them trim it. The medium the ortho sat too far forward on her shoulder. Huge difference for my horses.

I just got one on Saturday and am going to try it tonight. I love how it feels. I agree with the 5 Star comment. I am hoping it is the right size or I will have it for sale. :-)
