| I have a 1/2, 3/4, and 1 inch. I've used them all frequently depending on which horse and which saddle I'm using. I'm currently ordering a turquoise one in 3/4.

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I have more then a few 5 Stars in different thickness, but my favorite and go to's are my 1/2 and 3/4 pads. I ride different horses with different saddles. If your saddle fits really good I would go with the 3/4 pad.
What thickness is your pad that you are using now? Do you think its doing its job if so I would get that thickness of the pad your using now. |

Location: TN | Good thread! I love 5 stars! I have 1/2 for my well fitting saddle on my wide horse and use a 3/4 Tod Slone on my narrow horse. I want to get him a 5 star too but not sure if I want a 3/4 or a 7/8. |

| I was thinking I would order a 3/4 or 7/8. My saddle fits decent and my horse has a pretty average shape. I may could get away with a 1/2 inch..but I guess a little extra padding never hurt anyone.. |

Location: Mi | I have a 1/2", 3/4" and 7/8" I find I use the 3/4" ones the most. My husband uses the 7/8" the most on his roping horse. |

Location: North Dakota | I have a 1/2" and 7/8". I like my 1/2" but actually feel my mare needs alittle more pad with my current saddle. So I'm selling it and will be getting a 3/4". I think the 3/4" and 7/8" are the most versitile. |

Location: Phoenix | I was accustomed to using 1" pads (although compressed) so 7/8" was a good start for me. Especially since I usually breakaway rope. |

| I have 1/2" 3/4" 7/8" and 1 1/8"
When my big horse is in top shape I use the 1/2". Right now he's in the 7/8". My little horse is 7/8", might go to 3/4" in peak shape - I use the same saddle on both.
The 1 1/8" we rope in. Not having to use double pads is soooooo nice! |

| *************I have a question for those of you who ordered your 5 star off of the 5 star equine website.
When choosing options: All of my options appear correct as I go through. When I am finished and add my pad to the cart, it appears to change the color of my pad to chocolate instead of natural. I am a little afraid to complete my order because all custom sales are final and I dont want to order the wrong options. Anyone had experience with this? Surely you can place an order over the phone to be sure its correct? |

Ditto go through Deanna! Great prices and super helpful, we just placed a multi pad order with her to replace some other brands we have that are worn out. Can't wait to get them! |
