Location: Windoming | I ride with both. Saddle rolls on one horse with 5 Star, so I use the Saddleright for him. I prefer the 5 Star, but you have to use what works! | |

Personally I'd go with a saddleright. I think this is the second time I've seen you make these claims. What makes you believe this about 5 star pads? Just curious. The facts and evidence seem to be contrary to your opinion. I agree - where are you getting your facts?  Â
Hmmm, 3 of us have asked and not being answered. Guess it's just her opinion, no facts??? 
I don't use 5 Star or Saddleright, so I cannot comment on the performance of either pad. However, as a side comment to cavyrunsbarrels, there is a lady on YouTube who is an equine equipment designer. She has several saddle pad reviews and she does not like wool felt at all (shock absorption, etc). I'm not advocating what she is saying and I'm not speculating where everyone else gets their opinions or information, but here's this particular person's rant about 5 Star, CSI, etc. Her channel name is "The Truth Tack Review"

dk66 - 2017-05-15 8:34 AM I have no experience with a treeless saddle, but I just purchased my first saddle right pad and my mare is doing well with it. I have used 5 stars for a long time and was disappointed in the last 2 I purchased. I plan on buying a couple more saddle right pads this year.
Why the disapointment in the 5 Stars?Â
The ends of the pad along with the wear leathers after the 5th or 6th time left a small horizontal lesion. The pad then became very wavy underneath and was leaving wave marks on my mares back. Had to take a grooming stone and file on the edges where to small lesion occurred to smoother it out. Then I had to start using a liner underneath for the first time with the pad. With that being said I decided to try the saddle right and am very pleasantly surprised with how it provides weight distribution on this particular horse. | |

Not to mention, she didn't design them or get any money from them, LOL!!! Not sure I believe squat from "sources" such as that about any product. | |
