Re: [RC] [RC] Anyone tried the Limpet Pad? - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Nicole z_arabs@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I have been interested in the Limpet saddle pad ever
since I saw them at the Western States Horse Expo and
am wondering if anyone has tried them for endurance.
They are endorsed by Linda Tellington Jones and Pat
Parelli and are supposed to reduce friction and
breathe.  They are less expensive than the Equipedic
and Supracor too.  

I have one that I purchased years ago at the Equine Affaire.

I have not used it for endurance, since just using it in the 
arena I felt it was holding heat as the horses were really
sweating a lot.  It just *looks* hot to me, but maybe I'm being
too quick to judge?

Maybe I'll try it again.  However, unless they've changed the 
style drastically since I bought mine (possible), I wouldn't
use it for a treeless saddle since it has no channel down the
center.  Mine's a dressage pad.
