I'm not comfortable using anything less than a 1/2" pad, especially for barrel racing. With that being said, I do have a 1/2" 5 Star pad that I like. With such a thin pad though, saddle fit is paramount.
I have a 3/4" 5 Star but it just makes the saddle sit strangely on my little mare. (When I use my 1/2" 5 Star the saddle sits correctly but the one I have is too long for her back so I need to get her one that is shorter through the spine). I'm trying to figure out if I should go with a different brand.
Saddleright is the only thin designed pad that offers maximum protection and orthopedic value. There is not a pad on the market that can compare to them.
