Veteran Posts: 185	I'm in the market for a new saddle pad and I am getting sooo confused by all the different types and fancy tech. What would you recommend, use and why? I've been looking at 5 star, best evers, thinlines mostly What do u think of this thinline pad? http://www.thinlineglobal.com/shop/#!/~/product/category=5515809&id... I've heard some good things about the thinline pads turning grumpy saddling horses into happy horses. Helping reduce movement of the rider and reducing rider and horse back pain.

Expert Posts: 2457	So I gotta say, I was just like you a few months ago. I did some research and liked the feedback from other people on here about 5 stars. For the money and time I have spent riding with different brands and products that had "hype" around them - my decision to go with a 5 star was by far the best thing I've done for my horses in a long, long time. Hit up Rockyroad and she will work with you on every aspect of the pad. I LOVE mine and LOVE the way my good mare moves in it. I can't say enough super positive things about the product and company. I'm currently saving my money for another one!

Veteran Posts: 185	Thanks for the input keep it coming! I keep hearing great things about 5 star and I've read they are better then the best evers. Price is better for the best evers tho lol I do think the thinline is more of an english thing. I actually didn't know they made western pads either untill I looked up their site. I wish I could try both the 5 star and thinline. I actually had the waky idea of buying a 5 star and trying it with the thinline on top (not the two whole pads just the 1/4inch thinline with a 1/2 inch 5 star). I guess I'm just wondering if the thinline is really better at pressure distribution, reduction, dissipation compared to the 5 star. I don't like the idea of the thinline by itself on his back tho. So I think I would get the fancy pro pad with the felt. Or do my waky idea. Or maybe someone will mention something else! Thanks again!
