I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	What saddle pads do you like under a Meleta Brown saddle?

Elite Veteran Posts: 696 Location: Sunny California	I've got one, had it about 1 1/2 years. I have 2 very different horses. One is built downhill and I have yet to find a good fitting saddle for her, and I've tried many. The other horse is really built well, good withers, back etc. but my saddle was leaving dry spots. So I bought a csi because a couple of friends have them and like them. It didn't work for either of my horses. They both still had dry spots and I felt that the saddle pad had more role to it than others. My good horse with the good back actually got white hairs after only having him for 4 months and riding strictly with the csi pad. The white hairs were the same shape as the flex plate. I've since switched saddles and pads and his white hairs are going away.

Elite Veteran Posts: 912 Location: Alabama	cheryl makofka - 2014-08-27 7:38 PM If people want a thinner CSI, then I suggest paying the 100 extra and get the merino wool instead of the felt it is thinner, and is the exact same sheepskin as the pro choice shearling cinches. This will be my next purchase, I have drooled over them for a few years, seen one in person at the NFR, and now have to buy one. I was just about to ask if anyone had seen these in person. I've googled and googled and can't find a single picture! I'm thinking I want to try one with the merino wool! I loved the two I had with half inch liners and hate that I sold them.

I hate cooking and cleaning Posts: 3310 Location: Jersey Girl	Until recently I had always used the Pro Choice pads. I had tried CE and 5star but always went back to PC. About a month ago I bought a Wyatt pad. I was a little skeptical at first because I thought it was going to be too thick (causing saddle roll) and it was a little more expensive then what I like to spend. I can say that I really like the pad. It looks good, fits well and my saddle doesn't move like I thought it would.
