Hi all!
I like the sound of these pads for shock absorbing/even pressure etc but I was wondering if it is worth it? If the saddle is flocked with real wool which is meant to be shock absorbing anyway and it fits, is a gel pad needed? I'm only interested as my mare is sensitive anyway and I just wanted to make sure she was as comfortable as possible.
A friend of mine recently got one and her horse has been completely different since using it. More relaxed, no more bucking into canter etc. I assume the saddle fits but it's not my place to say!
Thanks!
