Location: Bandera, TX		I have a couple of older 5 Stars that I love. Got a new horse and now she has to share a pad with the other two horses.. time for a new pad!!!!
Two questions:
How do you like the new Flex Fit design with the open wither? Seems like a good idea?

On sizing... do you like for a few inches to stick out behind the saddle, or end pad with saddle? The horse I am buying for is big. Both short and long pad could work for her. Just wondering what is better for the back.

Thank you!

Location: North Dakota		Haven't tried the Flex Fit. 

My pads probably stick out maybe an inch or two on either side of my saddle (front and back). I get the countoured barrel pad size.

Haven't tried the new flex, but have a couple horses I'd be interested in trying it on.

We generally have 30" pads. I have a 28" for my 14.1h gelding and my FIL has a 32" - my opinion is the 32 is way too long but it's his pad. I like 1-2" sticking out ideally, but some saddles we have have more some have a hair less.

I love the flex fit. It fits all of my horses well and the pad seems more supple and shaped to the horses back.

As for the fitting, I tend to think a little more about what fits my horses back rather than what fits my saddle. I like them to fit from the top of the wither to the end of the back:)
