I love both my 2000 series and 3000 series LB roper pad. Id say right now the 3000 LB is my fav. I love that they keep their shape and dont go flat or slip side to side. Its goes up and stays put though it can be to stiff for some persons perferences. Only trouble i see some having if your saddle fit is off, your horse doesnt have much wither/conformation issues and you dont tent your pad in the front itll ride low and slip back. Its the only pad we use and ive tried a bunch!!! My husband is a big guy and rides different types of horses to work cows/brand/rope and we ve not had soreness issues.
