Gel-Eze pads...

[SuperCoblet]

Has anyone got one? I've just ordered one from equestrian clearance in the hope
a) I'll get it by the weekend as I need the bit I've ordered by Sunday!
And b) my saddle will stop slipping! U can't even get on off a mounting block because it slips, even when the girth is as tight as I can get it! Also getting the saddler out soon.

Antibes thoughts on it or have I just wasted £20?

Can't help but sympathise, my new saddle slips a bit in canter and it drives me nuts (it has been fitted, he is just round!), just waiting for my prolite saddle stay pad so lets hope they work for both of us!

ooh good luck I do hope it comes before sunday else i will have no breaks on the funride!

It doesnt tend to slip while in riding, maybe show jumping around the tight turns though! It's just getting on really, i tend to just swing my leg around to get on

i have one, it works great! But i don't have a normal saddle so i can't tell you if it works under a normal saddle

Brilliant His coat is so soft, and he is so round! I hope it will work

These are expensive but IMO totally worth it; me and my mum have one for our round ponies! Bought after a saddle slipping accident, just a suggestion for anybody, they are gorgeous pad, and a suede texture, so easy to clean. Look really smart too

If you're referring to the one made from only the 'gel' (i.e. without sheepskin):

I've used it a lot in the past and worked very well.

Just don't fold it in half when it's not in use - it will split on the crease over time
It's best to lay it flat whilst in storage.

(ideally the saddle should fit nicely and not slip at any time though - hopefully your saddler can solve the problem )

I have a gel eze and a prolite one. I found the prolite one worked better.

but please do bare in mind that my saddle doesn't even look like a saddle, so i don't know how/if it works on normal saddles.
i have this, so nothing like a saddle really: http://www.totalcontact.eu/en/saddle.php

Sorry dunno how to post a link on here, but Performance Equestrian have some lovely non-slip numnah's which the endurance people use.

My boy's got a low wither and flat back and normal saddlecloths/numnahs tend to slip around like a turd on a dungheap, but their numnah sticks like a limpet and also wicks away dampness & sweat.
