RE: [RC] pads for Reactor Panel saddle? - David LeBlanc

I'm interested in that one, too. I've been using a Supracor under my Reactor
Panel (the big one with no cover), but the pad scrubs his withers. I know
that Steph also uses a Supracor, but modified it. I have tried a Skito under
it, but it squirted out from under the saddle 3 TIMES in the first loop, and
yes, I did have the billet straps through the loops in the pad. It really
stinks to try and put your saddle back together while everyone you just
passed trots by...

So I'm trying to figure something out - maybe a Skito with thinner padding?
Try modifying my really expensive Supracor? Modify it and cover it? I really
like the Supracor padding, hate the way it fits the horse, and the covered
"endurance" style Supracor isn't big enough.

BTW, I have just put a fleece pad underneath the RP and had good results for
a 50 - and I'm a heavyweight. If you're lighter than I am, that may work for
you. For me, I think there needs to be something, even if it is thin.

Ideas from other RP owners?

       Can anyone share what pad(s) worked well for them with their Reactor
Panel system. Love the saddle, hate the pads, cause they're soaked after
riding, and I can't wrestle to take them off after every ride. Yesterday I
used my Dixie Midnight pad under the fleece RP pad to avoid it getting wet,
but I wonder if that interferes with the saddle panel effectiveness?
Thanks ahead, Randi Lavikoff in Florida
