RE: [RC] Winter hair and saddle pads - Jannelle Wilde & Adam Falk
I am not familiar with the HAF pad, but
When the Brands of Lost Juniper Ranch fit my horse the made a big deal about
the pad being as thin as possible. I actually use their “bootie pads” which
are just fleece and codura sewn together. If the pad if thick at all it will
change the fit of the saddle.

saddle pads
Was this topic discussed before...I don't remember.
Today I rode my horse with his new Specialized Saddle. He
seems to be happy with it, but toward the end of the ride, I could tell he was
beginning to hurt somewhere. Upon arriving home and stripping the saddle,
I found the saddle pad, a Haf without inserts, had scrubbed his winter hair
into balls and wads in the loin area and these wads were pulling against the
hair roots. No wonder the poor horse was hurting. Any suggestions
for a solution? I thought about a wool pad perhaps? Any other
ideas?
