I love my equipedic pad also, it took me about 15 minutes to
get the inserts back in after I washed the pad.

Re: [RC] equipedic pads
I have one and I love it! It sits on
the horse's back with ample room at the withers, it doesn't slip, nor does
the saddle move off it. It gives the horse a nice cushioning between
himself and the saddle and leaves an even sweat pattern. I just rode
my horse's first 50 miler a couple of weeks ago and he had no problems at
all. The one thing I particularly love about it is the fact that it's
thick enough to take up the necessary room to make my wide tree saddle fit
a horse that doesn't have a wide back. It was a lot cheaper than a
new saddle! I haven't found any downside of it yet, but I haven't
taken it apart to wash the cover. It seems someone mentioned it
is hard to get the inserts back in, but I may be thinking about some other
pad. We shall see when the time comes. In the meanwhile, I brush the
contact side with a stiff brush to fluff up the nap and remove the
horsehair after every ride.

============================================================ ==================== There
is something really special about getting to ride all day, and all night on
your horse. I know that a lot of people like to get finished, and get it
over with. Yes, it is a lot of work. But, realize that each
ride, especially a 100 is a really special gift and savor it for all it is
worth. ~ Karen Chaton
