Re: [RC] Pads for treeless saddles - Sharon Levasseur

Sarah,

Yes, Skito pads are great for treed saddles!  For treeless saddles, Skito
recommends laminated foam inserts in the following situations:

CASE 1:
Rider is 130# or under but horse has either a moderately prominent spine or is
very flat-backed (in the latter case, the laminated foam helps reduce the
rider's hip spread): 1/2" foam plus 1/2" laminate (No extra charge).

CASE 2:
Rider is 130-160# and horse has either a moderately prominent spine or is very
flat-backed (in the latter case, the laminated foam helps reduce the rider's
hip spread): 3/4" foam plus 1/2" laminate ($10 extra).

CASE 3:
Rider is 160-190#: 3/4" foam plus 1/2" laminate ($10 extra).

CASE 4:
Rider is 190-230#: 3/4" foam plus 3/4" laminate ($10 extra).

CASE 5:
Rider is over 230#: Thin sheet of Lexan between foam and laminate ($15 extra).

Sounds like you'd fit in either Case 2 or Case 3, for both of which the
recommended solution is 3/4" foam with an additional 1/2" of laminated foam.

If/when you're ready to order, I would be happy to provide you with a price
quote.

Thanks for all the great info everyone! This list has been so helpful to me,
a lowly trail rider. Thanks!

Would a Skito pad be good for regular treed saddles as well? Can anyone tell
me what type of Skito pad I would need for a Bob Marshall. More info: I'm
5'7" 160 lbs, ride a 14 h Paso Fino with a wide flat back, med withers, and
little/no dip in her back, no 'wither pockets' to speak of. I ride around
8-15 miles per ride, sometimes 2-3 X week, and occasionally in rough steep
'make up your own trail' stuff.
