[RC] RPs and saddle pads - Lysane Cree

Hi, 

I currently use an Aussie Enduro saddle pad under my
current Wintec Endurance - its real fleece and quite
thick...but how thick is too thick??? I would say its
around 2" because its fluffy. With the RP it seems
most people use barely any pad or a very thin pad. If
I were to get an RP would I have to consider a wider
model because I have a thick pad?  Just asking because
I really love these Aussie enduro pads - some people
have said it might hold heat in because its large, but
I don't find that. It soaks up sweat but still stays
fairly dry itself and it leaves my horses back nice
and dry and sweat usually runs down the flanks.
Once I place the saddle on the horse's back, I always
lift the front of the pad and make sure it is well off
the withers and up in that space (gullet?) so its not
pressing on the withers. I have never experienced back
problems with it. But I would want the RP to fit
properly as it should....

Lysane
