	my mare hates felt or wool, so I have to get fleece bottom. She pretty much dictates what I shop for ;)

Expert Posts: 1611 Location: bring on the heat, NV	I usually use felt. I just got a classic equine that has a wool blanket on top, 7/8 felt inside and 28 oz fleece on the bottom.. So the best of both worlds? 98.99 on horse.com. Im feeling pretty cheap and broke this spring... LOL Edited by moapajetrider 2015-04-10 5:27 PM

One it keeps the pads clean and the other I can throw it in the washer and keep from getting fungus backs.
