Rockyroad sells them. I just ordered a chocolate 7/8 with caramel croc on it. This will be my third one. If you want her email I can hook you up! Let me know. I know she had surgery not long ago but I have spoken to her in the last couple of days.

She's not shy about posting her info on BHW, since she is a dealer. She is Deanna Fry Bidwell. Her tack shop is Horsin Around Tack. She has a FB page for it. She also monitors Used 5 Stars for sale page on FB.

Agreed Nateracer, Dianna has a ad on the tack page at the top and her phone number is there for all to see. I have bought many pads from her and when I need another I will be buying from Rockyroad {Deanna}

I had always used "1 inch" pads that when measured, were actually 7/8" or less because of compression. I ordered a 7/8" ( Deanna advised against getting the 1+") & couldn't be more happy. It's the perfect thickness--it doesn't seem too thin or too thick. I've had it going on 10 years now and it still looks brand-new. I want the chocolate color next!!

Anne I've bought all my pads from Deanna Bidwell (Rockyroad). She'll give you a great deal and is super easy to deal with. If kiddos saddle fits well you don't need as thick of pad. I have 2 - 3/4", 3 - 7/8" and 1 - 1". Depends on what saddle I use on which horse.

As they get use on them the edges "fluff" out some and they will appear thicker.
I've taken to writing the original thickness on the spine of the pad when I first buy it. The 1/2" are pretty easy, they don't seem to fluff out as much, but the 3/4-1" can be kind of a bear to tell the difference in once they get some use on them. Our 1 1/8" roper pads have quite a bit more weight to them it seems, so those are pretty easy to tell too.
Love my 5 Stars, I'll be utilizing Deanna's skill in the spring as we are planning to replace the rest of our non-5 star pads
