 looking for a felt type bridge pad for a sway backed horse and then for a long backed lost muscle mass behind shoulders. I have gel ones but the chiropractor said felt is best but was not sure where to buy them.

 I've never seen a felt bridge pad before. I make shims out of old yoga mats that I cut up and layer.

I use a Diamond shim pad. Very happy with it.

I use a felt saddle pad and make my own shims. You can buy the inexpensive white felt pads and cut them out yourself. Glue some velcro onto the shim and the pad so that it stays put, and voila! a custom shim. :)

I have a regular CE sensorflex pad, and I just shim my saddle. I use the CE shims, they were like $20.

I used the one made by Classic Equine. I eventually saved up some money and had Best Ever make me a pad the way I wanted with a built in shim.
