I have another 5-Star that has also aged badly, but two that haven’t. The slones definitely hold up better under hard use in my experience.

Expert Posts: 5290	I switched from 5 star to Saddle right. Yes, they were 350.00 each but pretty much never have to be replaced. I love how thin they are and the protection they offer. I was replacing my five stars every couple years.

Location: in the ozone	5 Star only. They have lasted us - with really hard use - for years. I am surprised the one poster has had theirs wearing poorly - maybe let the company know?

Elite Veteran Posts: 754 Location: Arkansas	I prefer 5Star for my barrel pad and Tod Slone for my roping pad. I've had a Best Ever as well--they are good pads for the $$, but don't hold up like 5Star and Slone.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 433 Location: The Lone Star State	Ok so Im curious, what size thickness? I have a 3/4" 5 star now but wondering if I might need a 7/8 for a mare that can get a little back score?

I have had one for almost 8yrs and its the pad I ride in every single day, love it!

I use a csi on most all my horses. otherwise i use a team equine.
