Location: Somewhere around here | Move out of the way 5 Star pads. I think this has become my new favorite.
Anyone have one of these pads? Likes or dislikes?

| Following for reviews. I really like the look of them, might end up ditching my heavy/thick CSI. |

Location: Wyoming | Ugh wish there was a round skirt option! Don’t like having so much saddle pad. |

Location: in the ozone | They are a totally different design etc than 5 Star, so just another pad type option. |

| I just ordered one, shipping says 2-4 days. I will try to post my initial thoughts when it arrives.
I decided to go with it because I have always had issues with the saddle and pad being snug across my mare's spine at the back edge. Hopefully this will help. |

ETA
Nevermind, it's 20mm = .78 inches

| I've gotten a couple of rides in it, and I really like it. After having a CSI for two years it initially felt really thin, but it does measure about .8 of an inch. The material is very stiff, but that should break in with time and use. My 5 Star was softer coming out of the bag for sure. I really like that it is a bit thicker where the tree of the saddle is, and I like the grab strap for pulling it up into the gullet of the saddle. The reason I bought it was for the clear spinal channel the entire length of the pad, and it does a really good job with that. I am happy with it, and I think my horse is happy with it too.

I will get some better pictures when I go to the barn tonight. The ones I took inside my house came out really dark. |

Location: Jersey Girl | Ok so my BO got hers and she really likes it. Her horse is a shark fin withered, broad shoulered and short backed. She rides a treeless. This pad has enough of a cut back so it doesn't pinch him anywhere. Her horse is very happy riding in the pad. (He would let her know he wasn't). |
