Sorry I don't have any advice Posts: 1975 Location: Sunnyland Florida	I recently ordered a saddle and was thinking about the carpet, but the more I felt of them, I realized the carpet was super hard, compared to the softness of the wool. I went with the wool underside.

Miss Laundry Misshap Posts: 5271	Rubber or actual carpet...um No. Some saddles have a wool type liner that kind of looks like the gray all-weather thin carpet. It's ok. Marlene McRae saddles are one that comes to mind, and one of my circle Y JBNs had it. The other one was fleece. There are different types of wool/fleece stuff for the underside. But for the most part that's what saddles have had for probably a 100 years! Why change??

A Somebody to Everybody Posts: 41354 Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas	What do you mean by rubber underside? Are you looking at a Double J saddle? I have 3 Double J saddle's and two are Fleece lined and one Foam lined, these are closed cell foam.. theres nothing wrong with a foam lined saddle if its a good closed cell foam if thats what your talking about on the rubber underside of a saddle.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 599	I’ve had Marlene saddles with the carpety bottom. I liked them. I don’t know if I like the idea of the foam or suede looking ones. Fleece has always been good!

Expert Posts: 5290	My two Charmayne james saddles don't use fleece/wool. The cactus one has padded suade and the Reinsman has a carpet like material. I LOVE THEM and no fuss for my horses. Keeps me from having to have them redone every few years when they pack down. And you can really judge saddle fit a lot better.

Expert Posts: 3815 Location: The best kept secret in TX	I can see the good points to all three but personally I like 100% real wool. Better ride altogether for me. But again, I think each has their own purpose and their own pros.

The One Posts: 7997 Location: South Georgia	My Marlene had the gray carpet. I had no complaints. All the other saddles I have owned have had the wool/fleece stuff.
