I was trying the dryback. The supracor works well to dissipate heat. 
However, the supracor doesn't have sufficient curvature for a lot of 
high withered horses either. I have been riding a panel saddle for years 
and I simply use the panel booties. However, the supracor doesn't have 
sufficient curvature for a lot of high withered horses either. That 
allows for air flow under the saddle.

On my old mare who I rode with an pretty typical endurance style saddle, 
I used a woolback pad.
