le Mieux saddle pads....

[{97702}]

Are they OK? I am tempted to buy one simply because I love the burgundy colour they do - I realise this is a very shallow reason

 

[milliepops]

I'm really pleased with the ones I've got. Wash and wear well, good firm quilt. And sensible d ring straps

 

[{97702}]

There seem to be a million different types Millepops, can you remember which one you have by any chance?

 

[milliepops]

Mine are all plain ones, I have a couple of luxury ones (blueberry dr lustre and cc peacock green) plus a cotton white competition square with numbers...and a cc denim one

I don't rate the sheepskin as much as mattes but the plain pads are excellent.

Cool thanks Burgundy may be our XC colour of choice then

 

[DirectorFury]

I love all of mine, my favourites are the 3D Mesh Air. Their Eurojump cut fits my jump saddle perfectly but the CC cut doesn't fit the front panel at all - it's pretty annoying as all the nice colours are in CC cut and not EJ!

I have been using them for a long time - they are great.

 

[Bruce17]

I hate mine, it's a lustre GP one. It's too stiff and doesn't seem to sit right under the saddle.

Much prefer a nice Eskadron

 

[Doublethyme]

Love mine. Don't move on my mare where as lots of pads do and they wash beautifully

Nice pads but fractionally on the small side (or shrink a bit with washing) for 17.5/18” saddles I found

 

[Fjord]

I have GP ones and I love them. The suede effect ones are great and wash up beautifully.

I’ve got these love them. Before them I would only use Griffin Nuumeds. Have teal, Peacock green and terracotta.

 

[DabDab]

I love them.
Despite being a big lump of a creature, Dabs has very sensitive skin, and comes out in sweat lumps quite easily, but the lemieux cloths seem to keep him comfortable and lump free, with the added bonus that they look good, wear well and don't move at all under the saddle.

Anyone else have an issue with the bamboo (newer version) of the prosuede rubbing at back seam?

 

[AFB]

Prefer Eskadron/Eurostar. Find LM are quite stiff fabric and have seen various reports of them not washing well.

 

[Slightlyconfused]

I have burgandy dressage, teal cc, blueberry cc and bennington blue cc
Love them and they wash up well

I have the burnt orange which is a lovely colour but it rubbed my mare badly on the back behind the saddle from the binding so can't use it! I have the half lined sheepskin one which is better but still rubs a bit when she is changing her coat

Every saddle pad I’ve ever used rubs hair away in the winter. No problem in the summer. The winter coat is much more brittle. It’s a pain!

 

[blodwyn1]

This rubbed her in the summer when she had a full coat. I also was not impressed by the hairs weaving into the lining so did not wash out! I have gone back to using real sheepskin numnahs and now have no rubbing!

I have a bit of a Lemieux addiction.... Love them!!
