I am going to order a Saddleright pad. My question is what size? Do most people use the regular western style or the round barrel saddle version? Is there length options? I have a 5 Star and it is 28" as my horse is short backed. I have a square skirted treeless. Just want to make sure I order the correct style/size. Thanks!

I have one of each. My square one is a 28" if I remember correctly. The round one is small, like you can barely see it stick out from under my saddle. But it does its job and was $100 brand new on Facebook LOL.
They will last forever and are easy to clean. I don't use liners with mine but I typically clean them every spring and my older one still looks great after 5 years or so.

I'm a dealer, and own 10-12 of them (mostly a dealer because it's all we use). I like 28" for round skirted barrel saddles, or kids saddles. I have 30" for square skirted barrel saddles and kids rope saddles and 32" for rope and ranch saddles. I like a some pad sticking out in front and back- like 2-3", but that's just my preference. The "bars" are the same length in any pad size. Some of our pads are 20+ years old and function as well as the new ones!
