Am I really the Weirdo? Posts: 11181 Location: Kansas	My sister-in-law and brother have a pretty round little gelding that they trail ride, and they're having trouble getting a pad to stay put on him. He doesn't have much for withers and so she says the pads they have (all 1" thick fleece or felt bottom pads) are rolling to the side. She's been doing some research online and thought maybe a Tacky Too pad would work for him. This is NOT a horse that they ride until he sweats - I highly doubt he gets out of a trot - so I don't have my normal reservations about a neoprene type bottom. I know we need to find a thinner pad than what they've got for their two old horses, but do you have any suggestions of a good nonslip saddle pad?

I have a tacky too pad that has been on a horse one time that I would make him a great deal on.

Am I really the Weirdo? Posts: 11181 Location: Kansas	Thanks for the suggestions. I am not crazy about neoprene bottom saddle pads myself, but I like my Impact Gel pads and so it's been a number of years since I bought anything else. All 4 of my horses have pretty good withers so pads sliding to the side is a new thing for me.
