| Which would have more impact protection and weight distribution for a treeless, a saddle right pad alone, or a 5 star pad paired with a thinline? |

| Thanks for the input. I do use a BOT liner already. Using it with my supracor, but the pad is too long for my one gelding and I feel like it has a bit too much bounce to it. |

Location: Louisiana | Been using a Saddleright for years. Neither of my two horses have ever been back sore, and I'm not a skinny girl lol.
One guy has a kinda long back, and my vet did warn me about making sure he doesn't get sore when I bought him, just bc of his conformation. He was used to a little girl riding him and I probably have 100 pounds easy on her haha. But he is just fine, no soreness at all.
If you stalk Facebook sometimes you can find a good used price. I bought one for $100 that was practically brand new. |

Location: North Dakota | Saddleright and thinline are both very impressive. 5 Stars are very well made pads, but felt doesn't do much for weight distribution or shock absorbtion at all. Personally I'd go with a saddleright. |

I think this is the second time I've seen you make these claims. What makes you believe this about 5 star pads? Just curious. The facts and evidence seem to be contrary to your opinion. |

I agree - where are you getting your facts? |

Location: Got Lobsta? | Not to highjack the thread, but I just took the plunge this weekend on a treeless. Its the TF regular gullet - I use the saddle right pad, - still getting some rolling. Thinking I will go with a shorter cinch and tighten it like crazy. It rolls when I'm at a lope - just looking for feedback. Thanks! |

| I have no experience with a treeless saddle, but I just purchased my first saddle right pad and my mare is doing well with it. I have used 5 stars for a long time and was disappointed in the last 2 I purchased. I plan on buying a couple more saddle right pads this year. |

Why the disapointment in the 5 Stars? |

| Ended up going with the saddleright and happy I did. Nothing against 5 star, I have had them too, I just think the saddleright is much more suitable for what I wanted it for. |
