So what exactly is in this pad? I had a Charmayne pad exactly like this a long time ago and l loved it then but like the sell-happy dummy that I am I sold it because it didn't fit my saddle at the time. Now I have a saddle that would be perfect with it, go figure. I've been thinking about buying another but now I'm more educated about what I like and want on my horses back. I use a 5 star right now, which I like but it's just a little bit big for my short backed horse.

| I agree with above, these pads suck. They’re like cardboard. I sold it and all my pads except 5 Star, CSI, and SaddleRight. |

Yes a long time ago, when I was in high school. Idk about you but I've learned a lot about quality of tack since I've been out of school. |

| These pads have always been so cheap IMO. I had a few friends who had them and they always broke down so fast.
Sidenote, that youtube gal also has a 5 star/CSI "review" which is interesting. |

She's spot on about felt, but I cringe every time I watch that video, because she seems to not know what a CSI pad is. She makes NO mention of the flex plates, nor does she test them. |

| yes i came across the same video. she makes some good points but i am not 100% agreeable with some other of her reviews. I was pretty shocked and disappointed with pro choice after seeing that video though. I'll never buy a air ride pad thats' for sure! I used to have one and i didn't like it and neither did any of my horses. in fact after a ride my horse reached over the fence and grabbed the pad and tore a big hole in it LOL thats what he thought of that!
