I don't have experience with the saddle pad, but I've been wearing a wrist wrap on my wrist with tendonitis for the past few days and have noticed a huge difference. I am very impressed with the product!

Last summer I had 2 five year old mares who were having trouble with ribs going out. (I know that they don't go out but I am just using that expression). I massaged them prior to saddling and then used the pad. After about a month I never had that problem again. I like how the BOT warms the muscles. I use the gloves and the back stocking stuffer myself. I use the mesh sheet for all over stimulation on my mares. I like every product that I have tried.

I was wondering this as well... i dont know if i am just a little der der der but it seems like it would make them to warm? Under the saddle working sweating ect?

I have a mare that is slightly cold backed and has hip issues that I use one on. Prior to the BOT pad she would buck until she was good and warmed up. I haven't had any issues with her bucking since I I started using the pad. I love them. Actually bought another one for my horse that has ulcers and gets sore. I have only used it once on him but I know it will help.

I haven't tried any of the horse products yet but did buy the small blanket for myself as I've got bad scolosis and also was in a car wreck in September and still dealing with the pain of it. I really have noticed a difference since useing the blanket. I plan on getting myself the back brace to use when riding to help as well.

So what is your routine with with your BOT pad? So how long does your horse wear the pad? I know its for use under your pad , so do you run in it or ride in it all of the time. Let me know .......Thanks

Bumping this up for more opinions :) I also just got a pad and quick wraps for Christmas and am loving the wrist braces I got for myself. Hoping I will see a difference in my cold-backed OTT mare this spring
