Gel pads/ prolite pads

[mudmonkey17]

Any recommendations for these type of pads?

Want a saddlecloth/ numnah type of thing rather than small pad.

Saddle fits really well and recently been checked and tweaked to fit better so dont want anything with massive bulk.

Because of his age and some arthritic joints he can get back stiffness, he sees the physio regularly for this.

Borrowed a gel numnah off a friend and he seeemed so much happier in it that am looking into investing into one.

Zilco do a memory foam saddle cloth. Works exactly like a gel one but is lighter (gel is a rather heavy material) and unlike most gel pads it sits under the whole saddle and not just the panels. Would highly reccommend

I use the prolite all in one saddle cloth, I use nothing else

I do fancy those gel-eze sheepskin ones but as you say if its too thick it will affect the fit of the saddle

Thanks for those suggestions. Lissybear where stocks the zilco ones as never heard of them.
Noisy girl have looked at the prolite all in ones and likes the look of them. Are they worth the money?
Getting saddle fitter and Physio in next couple of week again so will ask their advice

I paid £65 each for both mine, I've had them for years so I think they are worth it, actually I lie, I had 2 one got stolen with my saddle with everything on it, so the 2nd one I have is borrowed

Don't confuse them with the other pad prolite do, they do one that has all over cover, it has squares all over it, where as these are the all in one saddle cloth where the pad is fitted in it, I like the special lining, my horse is dry underneath
