Re: [RC] Skito vs Equipedic & Abettas - Barbara McCrary

I'm another happy Equipedic user.  It doesn't slip, it doesn't cause heat
buildup. You put it on the horse and it stays put.  The saddle nestles into
the foam and doesn't budge an inch.   I love it. The horse loves it.

Have to "Ditto" Karla's experience here- and have seen several horses

lately

who had been conditioned with the regular Skito which were coming up with
white patches- NOT in the usual saddle sore areas, but rather down both

sides of

the back, about 2 inches from the spine... Riders changed pads- one to

felt and

one to a Podium with the Simpatex padding, and the white areas are going
away.........heat build up??
In my own very limited experience, I've used a Supracor when they first

came

out and PROMISED it wouldnt slip........it did, and I sent it back.  Used

a

Skito but felt like the heat was staying in my horse's back, so, following
RideCamp recommendations, got an Equipedic at the Expo and am really happy

with it!

 So is the mare- no flinching in the back after some long, hot rides......
Had an Abetta endurance model a few years ago and "thought" I was happy

with

it- but got dumped frequently til I learned the twist was too wide for

me... I

also found the
seat really slippery!  Must work for a lot of people tho- and the price

and

wgt are right..
