You might want to try the Dryback Pad from Skito to help keep your horses 
back dryer.  The idea of this pad is to draw moisture from the horses back 
through the pads and evaporate through something like a Dixie Midnight Vent 
Pad which incorporated on the top of the pad.

This has helped me in two ways.  The first way is that Gdala's back after a 
hard ride is a lot dryer and seems to be a lot cooler. The second way is my 
saddle seems to suck up every pad I have used in the front part of the 
saddle. Even using straps to hold the pad in place the saddle appears to be 
beyond the pad.  The Dryback Pad with the vent pad on the top keeps my 
saddle from moving around and eating up the pad and that is a very good 
thing. : )

I have used this pad to complete one 50, lots of conditioning rides, and 
Gdala and I were  able to ride the California Loop with Cindy, Jim McKibbin 
and Syliva Beverly this year just before the Tevis Cup.  On the California 
Loop, the weather was a lot hotter that I am use to riding in.  After the 
ride, I noticed a white type power on the vent part of the pad. I think 
this is a result of minerals that were deposited when sweet was vented 
through this pad.

Hope this is helpful.
