Re: [RC] [RC] Thinline Pads - Barbara Reeves

It's a good thing!  That means it's really non-slip, lol.  It sticks to
my mare big time too.  Becuase it's open cell, it will circulate some
air, so the back doesn't seem to get overly hot, and the sweat is able
to drip down out from under the pad.

When it's too hot, I use my TL over the Skito.  I have the 100% wool
bottom on my skito, so it does a great job of whicking sweat and
keeping her back cool during our hot and HUMID summer rides.  If you
don't have a Skito, you might think about using a 1/4" dry ice felt
pad.  You can get them at http://www.horse.com, or any thin wool felt
or sheepskin/wool fleece pad.  ThinLine recommends using a liner pad
for really hot conditions, to circulate more air against the horse's
back.

About the TL materials:

I use the regular 1/4" thickness.

I just got a thinline a few weeks ago and so far love it. I do have
one
question when I rode about 3 hours in very hot humid weather the pad
was
"stuck" on my horses back when I got back. I had to actually peel it
off. It this a good or bad thing?
