And they now have a pad made for Treeless saddles with the "open" spine to support the back more too. |

The "Treeless" pads only come in 7/8 & 1", although you can get them special ordered in the other thicknesses. I personally would not go any thinner than the 3/4" in the other style either. 7/8 is definitely the most popular w/my customers. |

You can get any size are thickness.. What is a good thickness for a treeless? The trail rider pad I have now is 3/4, but a 7/8 would be a good thickness to I would think. Maybe Deanna will come back and chime in with her thoughts on a good thickness for a treeless.. But too thick would/could cause your saddle to roll. LOL she beat me here, lol.

      Location: Mi | I have a regualar 5 Star 3/4" that I feel is a great thickness for my treeless. I haven't had a problem with the drop rigging pinching or cutting in or anything with it. My only concern is spinal clearance. I'm not positive if the regualar pad allows enough.....any thoughts on that?

I heard that was not good for horses with pronounced withers. Is that true?

       Location: Montana | Has anyone tried an Impact Gel with a treeless? Just curious because they make those for dropped rigging now, but I wasn't sure if the theory behind Impact Gel would work with a treeless? |

You know I have one of these and never though of trying it, LOL, I'm so stuck on my 5 Stars. I will have to see how it fits under my BM, it may not be long enought, my BM has a pretty long skirt, I cant remember if the gel pad I have is made for a square or round skirt saddle, but will check tomorrow if I get a chance too. My BM is a square skirt, so kinda douth its going to fit.  |
