Excellent Pad
"This is a great pad. The saddle side is grippy keeping the saddle secure. Also provides excellent cushion. I use it over a standard pad. FYI The pad just barely fits my 17"" saddle, so it does run small."

"I ride bareback using just saddlepads not a saddle. I use this gel pad differently from other riders in that I put it as my top pad of three, gel side down, so the soft fleece gives me a comfortable place to sit. This arrangement seems to be working nicely."
"Overall, great quality. I'm glad I bought it on sale though. When new it could seem a little stiff, but after a couple rides the material starts to ""relax"". I have a 17"" Dressage saddle and I will say, it just BARELY fits. Don't buy this if you have a larger saddle."
"I bought this pad to use along with my E-Z View Pad for the show ring. Works great and I love that the fleece color/textures match. . . gives a nice clean look in the show ring."
"This is very cheaply made and poorly constructed. It was sewn flat and does not want to bend. I have doubts it will lay nice on a horse's back and I'm afraid it will cause pressure points. Never tried it on and immediately sent it back for a refund."
"Wish it came with instructions for proper placement. I bought this for my 11 year old daughter. She has a smaller saddle but I could see if my saddle was larger, it would be a tight fit."
"Nice, soft, and a perfect length"
"Bought this pad for underneath my daughter's english saddle. It was referred to us by our trainer. It does a nice job of keeping pressure off the back!"
"Really nice gel pad. Runs a bit on the small side, so if you have a saddle bigger than 17in, it may be a bit too short."
