What do you prefer, if not using a wool saddle pad, fleece bottomed or felt bottomed? I've only had fleece (or faux fleece) but is there a benefit to one or the other? Thanks!
I usually use felt. I just got a classic equine that has a wool blanket on top, 7/8 felt inside and 28 oz fleece on the bottom.. So the best of both worlds? 98.99 on horse.com. Im feeling pretty cheap and broke this spring... LOL

I prefer a Navajo blanket against my horse then it is a toss up for wool felt or false fleece bottom. One it keeps the pads clean and the other I can throw it in the washer and keep from getting fungus backs.
