I have a question about foam saddle pads, and I'd like opinions please.....
I ride in an english saddle, and we are just graduating to the 25 mile 
level.  I now use a double sided fleece pad (I just bought a new one that 
is a little "cushier"), and a navajo blanket double thickness.  I have 
been looking at foam type pads to use instead of my navajo blanket.  
Is open cell or closed cell better?  I have heard of the skito pads, do 
they come in english shape?  Miller makes a Therapeutic Roma Pro-Tek pad, 
does anyone use one?  Or how about a Toklat open cell foam pad?  And do 
you use a cover over any of these?  Does the foam hold in heat badly?  
My mare has not had any significant back problems.  She just seemed a 
little sore after the 25 mile ride we did, and I think that I should 
add some cushioning.
Thanks Alot!!
