well, its black :)

and last year I bought him a draper therapy stable sheet. he wears it, all the time.
thinking back, he didn't have any white spots., now, he has about 10 white spots on each side of him, from his shoulder to his butt. He doesn't have any on his neck. It is 56% Celliantยฎ (Polyester), 44% Nylon.

I had a 5 star mohair cinch last year, he got cinchy, and he has tons of white spots through the girth area.
I got him an air flex, cinchyness went away.

and now, I tried the 5 star pad, he got itchy, terribly after I would take it off.
He is .. slightly bronc-y. Hes grown up a lot this year, he hasn't bucked hard, just humps up occasionally, but hasn't done it in a much this year.

Last year I was using a saddle right pad.


If you are certain he has a wool allergy I would suggest looking at a back on track liner.

Just for clarification as I know people have mentioned different brands

Any pad that is felt MAY have wool contents. Felting is a process done to wool.

Best ever
Saddle rite
Wade
These all contain wool products.

I would be interested to see if your horse reacted to a shearling, or merino wool. As he may just be sensitive to the processing, or certain wools. If he didn't react to a shearling cinch, then you have a few more options for a quality saddle pad.

Good luck

I am going to be at the vets office next week.
im going to see how much it would cost to see if he does have a wool allergy.
and I was going to say the same thing, most of the liners and felts, contain wool.

draper has a pad, im not sure constant heat on his back would be good? with the back on track? ... in the summer months. Im not real familiar with back on track.

When I researched the draper products the turnout blanket is 50% wool.

Looked at the saddle pads too and they contain wool
