saddle pads

[Marlene Moss <MARLENE.MOSS@WCOM.COM>]

Hello,
Ok, the time has come to replace the saddle pad that came with my used
Synergist saddle.  It's getting pretty squashed and I'd rather have
something that is a little larger than an exact fit anyhow.  I still need to
measure to figure out what style of pad is right, but I know I'm leaning
toward a Woolback, I'm guessing a barrel style will fit.

My mare is also prone to being sensitive and building up tension along her
back muscles, so I think I want something thicker than I currently have.  My
question is how thick should I go - I see double thick and triple thick
advertised.  But I don't think I want something so thick that I'm feeling
removed from the horses back.  Is a triple thick that kind of thick?

Anything else I should be thinking about?

Thanks,
Marlene
