dense, may I ask of the experiences you other riders have had with the
pad in question and with other pads<<<<
I have an Equipedic pad, and used it on two 50 milers with
two different horses using the same saddle (a cheap Abetta with a thousand
(literally) miles on it.) I felt the pad caused the saddle to fit better
on both horses than it had with the 100% wool pad I had used previously.
In both horses I had previously seen dry spots on either side of the withers
without the Equipedic- no spots or tenderness with. I would say though,
that it is best to keep the pad in a heated area the night before a ride, as it
does get stiff in the cold, and takes a bit to warm up and shape itself to the
horse.
