Location: NE TX | Which one would you buy. I have a CSI pad and love it but was looking at the Zone Series or Schneider pad as an alternate. Between the 3 what would y’all choose? |

Location: Got Lobsta? | I LOVE the Zone pads! I have 6 of them! I don't use anything else. I messaged Ryan Padone and she likes the one that is suede because it is a bit thinner than the others. When I had my store I sold a lot of them. The price scared people so I had them try mine out for a week and they would end up buying one after. |

Location: North Dakota | I have a zone felt top for sale......My hubby found the CSI pads and we now have 5 of them. The zone is not as thick and I don't think it is quite as forgiving as the CSI if you don't have a saddle that fits perfectly. I liked the idea of the thinner zone pad with the shock absorbtion but it just wasn't my cup of tea. |

After looking at both pads I would go with the Schneider Pads since they are hand made and you can personalize your pads too with your color and name if you like, I like the wither part of these pads, if I were looking to change pads I would look into one of these for darn sure..  |

Well Thank you  ,,,,I like the fact that they are hand made by Darla Schneider and you can customize or personalize them, the only thing that I would like different is that they add just a bit more contour to them, but other then that I like them, you can pick what wear leathers you like, just a pretty cool saddle pad company. |

Location: NE TX | Thank you!! I was gonna do I Schcneider pad because I know several that love them but I did also like the previews I’ve seen for the Zone Series pads and wondered if anyone had any references between the two. I love my CSI but I think i May need to go to something different. I feel like with the CSI I have to get the saddle tighterto get it to stay. I do like how you can customize the Schneider pads, I wanted to put my brand :). |

Location: Got Lobsta? |  Almost all of my Zone pads have a logo on them. Classic Equine will do any logo, you can send it in and they can add it to the pad. I also had pads done for customers with their logos and they were very happy with them.

Location: Tex. Panhandle | I had used schnieder pads for the last 4 yrs. Finally got 1 for each of the horses. Had to integrate slowly after I sold the ones I no longer used so I could replace them. I wont use anything else. Love the quality and the customer service is amazing! Darla does an incredible job. There were 2 gals and the NFR this past year using her pads. It was really neat |
