| Hard telling if the therapy portion is still working unless you have a horse who is super sensitive to it...but the pad construction itself as a liner is holding up well. |

I never thought of that! LOl Your right, the Therapy part might be hanging in there but who knows on the therapy part. My main reason for using it was for under pad part with a little added therapy lol |

Call the company of BOT and ask them what the longevity is on their pads. I love mine and had them for years and still have two new ones in their package that I bought when they had a sale going on..  |

Thats my exact point! LOL THey are having a sale on a two pack and mine are about 4 years old. SO I was debating with replacing them with new OR going with 100% wool under Pad. I recently started using Saddle right pads ( Love love love them) and have been using my BOT pads under them. |

I'll just buy new and go ahead and replace your old ones since theres that sale two for one and the older ones are 4 years old. You're not going to like you nice new pad getting all dirty and sweaty, lol.. I like knowing theres a bit of therapy going on while my good pads are staying clean, lol.. |

Mine should arrive today! I wanted something that I could throw in the washer. I LOVE my 5-Star ones but they are getting soooooo nasty. (I pride my self on cleaning them often too). One fell on the floor and a mouse got to it so I am replacing that one with a BOT pad.
Just waiting on that update USPS text that it arrived! |

I'll be honest, the first BOT pad I won at a race-- so wasn't necessarily trying it for a sore backed horse. What I really like them for is the fact that they keep my actual saddle pads in great condition. Haven't really had a horse where I could necessarily tell a difference on as far as back soreness goes. |

So you are running with the BOT under a saddleright? I have this combo and on my one horse the BOT slipped right out over his butt about 6". I have switched it to my other horse and seems to be working great but I have yet to make a hard run with him and that combo of pads. |

Last weekend was the first time I ever actually ran with the BOT under my new saddlerights. With one horse it felt a little squishy. Other was fine. But I did just buy 2 wool pad liners today to run in. I will exercise in the BOT but want to actually make runs with the wool liners. |
