Location: Kentucky | Hey everyone,
Im going to be doing a raffle for a local high school rodeo association to help my employer advertise. They will give $100 to buy the raffle object. I was thinking of buying a saddle pad. What would be a saddle pad that would be popular but also in the price range?
Im looking at the Pro Choice Smx, pro choice air ride, reinsman wool felt contour, Weaver working contour.
Any other ideas are appreciated! Unfortunately my employer isnt willing to pay more than 100 so we have to stay around there.
Thanks! |

| In my opinion, there are no quality saddle pads in that price range. Your looking at minimum 150-175 to get into the entry level quality wool pads. 200-250 for the five star higher quality. Highest quality 300-400.00 like saddleright etc. |

Reinsman is pretty good but stay away from the air ride, they are junk. |

| I just bought a Schneider performance pad for under $200 and its absolutely gorgeous handmade. wool with beautiful leather trim. I'm super happy with the fit and it truly fits my horse like a glove. She can customize as well. Whoops I just read won't go over $100. Mine was pretty much $200 by the time shipping was calculated.

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I found these, they are Classice Equine grey wool/felt pads for 134.99 and free shipping. Do you know the thickness you need if not I would go with a 3/4 or 7/8 in a barrel lenght, just make sure you dont get a pad that is for a roping saddle these can be pretty long. I'm a 5 Star user myself so cant really tell much about the Classice Equine but I know they are a good company.

Lol! Yes finally! I love it! Now that I have the right thickness pad for it, everything I had was way too thick. I'm really happy with it and the fit.. not gonna lie, I could drop a few lbs, which I'm in the process of now that ALL my kids are healthy and back in school. This momma has been hitting the yoga hard and the gym, so I'll get there and my butt will fit better in that saddle lol! But as far as fitting my boy, very very happy with it! I do have billets and back cinch ordered thru triple creek so hopefully soon I'll be 100% set up... but still need that pretty headstall and breast collar lol! Christmas maybe |
