Correct me if I am wrong but I believe 3M company is the "developer" of the 
material Karl uses as his pad.  It is called Nomad and is intended to be 
used as outdoor carpeting but does work great as a saddle pad.  I have one 
of Karl's pad and then when I realized what it was,  I was lucky enough to 
know someone at 3M and bought a whole roll (enough for more than a dozen 
pads) in the company store for a couple bucks!

Well, Miss Jan, since you asked...

Every so often this one pops up, and some folks who are trying to save a 
buck (usually at the expense of their horses), start talking about the 3M 
thing, or the Ralide thing, or the Ulti-pad thing, figgering there's 
something "just as good" or less expensive than the Genuine, Original 
No-Sweat vent pad.

At the risk of sounding like some sort of broken record, it just ain't so, 
y'all.

Look here--there's a whole bunch of folks on here who know me.  And they 
KNOW that in my life, and in my business, there is ONLY one thing that comes 
first, and that's the welfare of the horse.

Those folks, and now ALL of you, know that I've looked at, ridden, tested, 
and messed with EVERY single type of material that's been made in order to 
come up with the VERY best performing, MOST comfortable, and LONGEST-lasting 
device to comfortably and safely rid the horse of heat from under his 
saddle, AND to pretty much end y'all's having to wash your saddle pads. I've 
looked at and tested stuff for years and still CONTINUE to do so today.

When I started, it took me TWO YEARS of testing--that's right--TWO YEARS-- 
and thousands, and thousands of dollars to be certain that the Genuine, 
Original Dixie Midnight No-Sweat vent pad would provide the level of service 
>I< wanted, and would be worthy of the Dixie Midnight Guarantee.

Here it is:  Your Genuine, Original Dixie Midnight No-Sweat vent pad is 
GUARANTEED to keep your horse's back cooler, and your saddle pad(s) clean 
and dry no matter how hard you ride, for as long as you own it, or your 
money back.

NObody tops that!

Now...I DO make the No-Sweats right down here in good ol' Florida, but, and 
quite honestly, if for some reason you feel that there's something better 
out there, and are willing to take a chance on your horse's back with 
something untested, unproven, not made specifically for equines, and NOT 
guaranteed--with NO recourse, then, by all means--please--go buy it.

I KNOW what all that other stuff is, how it works, and what you can expect 
from it.  If you're a REAL endurance rider, and spend the hours and miles on 
horseback, then you will know instantly why I make the No-Sweat vent pad the 
way I make it.

If you're a casual rider, it should take you about 18-24 months to figure it 
out.  And THEN you can go find another knock-off to buy--if you can--and 
wind up spending three times as much over a 2-3 year period, when you 
could've had a No-Sweat right off the bat, and spared your horse the raw, 
bleeding back, or the white hairs, and the nice sharp "pricklies" from a 
knock-off which loses its softness in a while.

After all--it's YOUR horse, isn't it?

This ain't the first one to come down the pike with the "answer", and I'm 
sure it won't be the last, but...when all's said and done, you didn't get a 
Genuine Original Dixie Midnight No-Sweat vent pad off some industrial roll, 
did you?

Know why?  Because they're only made in ONE place, and that's right here:  
http://www.dixiemidnight.nv.switchboard.com

No-Sweats are only sold in a VERY few places, because I DEMAND folks who 
handle 'em to RIDE 'em, to be helpful, caring, and KNOWLEDGEABLE about what 
the No-Sweat's customers need, and to be expert in helping them to use the 
very best.  That sorta limits the field.  But...they ARE the very best.

Gots questions?  Ask away, I answer 'em all!  Either on here, or by private 
e-mail at dixiemidnight@xxxxxxxxxxx
