| When I had my mare fitted for her Crown C the wife of the couple promoting the saddles said she thought the 5 stars were the best quality saddle pads here in North America. |

Location: South Dakota | CYA Ranch - 2014-04-04 1:42 PM Rockyroad - 2014-04-04 10:43 AM You guys kill me!!  I hope they come back out w/the "colored" ones ... they've added alot more options so hoping this happens too!
For the OP, it's in the composition of the pads that makes 5 Star so much nicer, softer, & the highest compression/concussion rating of them all. Many wool pads are advertised as "100% wool" but they are not. They are made of a percentage of virgin wool (I am talking the pressed wool felt, not the needled - they are a whole different ball game - Diamond & Best Ever have these & they are much cheaper to make & alot less wool). The typical virgin wool content (like on Slones, Wrights, etc) is 55% - then they have a small percentage of reworked (used) wool & the balance is any other fibers. 5 Star used to be 92% virgin & 8% reworked but now are truely 100%. And that raises the pricing. I am 5 Star's designated BHW dealer, & I give BB's a discount, plus we run sales often (the Tax Refund sale is going on now until end of April). We have a FB page also. My niece is on here (Foster's Fancy) & she works for me too. We'd love to help you if you are interested!
Val, we'll find you a blue one eventually! SEEEEEE, you should have listened to me about the colored ones! LOL
Oh man, your not sitting at home right now in your royal blue shirt are you? |

Location: Texas | Hey LRQHS Im sure where you live but there is a tack store here that has them. And on certain days if you dig to the very very back of the pile of a gazzilion pads you'll find the mother load.
I got my 5 star for $125.00 + tax.
I LOVE it. It is so soft and pliable unlike the other wool pads. Normally a new pad takes me a breaking in period. It rolls, and sticks out weird. But not this pad!! From day one it was like old faithful :) |
