Yup.  Very interesting...  seeing as the graphs stop 
at 1 hour and say nothing about actually using the 
pad under a saddle while riding a horse.  The page 
only says that allegedly a pad and a 20 pound saddle 
were placed on "a heat source" (thus apparently not 
even a horse) and mesurements were taken for 1 hour.  

The independant study I like is the one done by the 
endurance riding student posted a while back here on 
RC and done out in CA.  She showed what the heat 
profile looked like while actually riding the same 
horse for different pads with the same saddle during 
and after several hours on the same training loop. 

For those who want to know, the Supracor was hands 
down the coolest between the pad and the back of the 
horse in her study.  I feel OK in saying this as it 
is a rebuttal to Candance's email and I have no 
financial interest in posting this.  

Am I the only one who is getting rather ill of all 
of the self promotional posting on RC these days?
