have you used any of these.......?

1) Stephens Gel eze pads.. the gelee fish one that goes under the saddle.

2) The prolite front riser pad with the adjustable shims

3) Wintec comfort pad

4) Castle gel seat bone saver, I think its supposed to be a copy of the heather moffett pads but faux suede.

Just want to know some info before I click the buy now button

Never personally used any of them, but have seen a couple of threads on here about liking the gel eze pad xx

we've got the prolite adjustable pad. I really like it. its so versatile, it washes and dries quickly, and its kept its shape for 6 years. Only use it flat now, as a shock absorber out hunting.

I do like the look of the pro lite, Im a bit torn between that and the gel eze. The wintec would be the cheaper option. so many choices!!!

I have the wintec comfort pad for my horse has he has very high withers and it gives him some extra protection, very good value for money although they are very hard to keep clean and can get a bit grubby! x

Prolite or geleze both are great! Not keen on the wintec. Prolite is probably more versatile

Thanks for the suggestions guys, looks like any choice seems good, Im not sure on the wintec as it only comes in white or grey and will get grubby easily as you said heather. It will mainly just be for comfort and extra protection for his high withers.

I have two prolites, one for my dressage saddle, which rises at the front and one for my jumping saddle which evenly distributes the weight across his back. He goes fantastic in them, but I would definatly speak to a saddler before buying anythign as they can be pricy and badly fitted can cause damge to your horses back.

Thanks for the tip kokopelli. Yes they can get pricey, thats why I thought I Would see if anyone on here had good or bad reviews on them
