Memory foam saddle pads

[PapaFrita]

Anyone got one? Any good? Seem a bit pricey at £47 or so (Heather Moffatt does them) and none on eBay. Is it worth, do you think, buying some of that memory foam mattress coverthingy and cutting it into shape?? Especially if I cover with cotton... sort of like the prolite pads.

I've got a Heather Moffatt one that I don't have any use for - if you're interested PM me and we can sort out postage

I bought one on ebay 3 days ago for 18 pounds inc delivery.

Really? I've not been able to find any, except in the States. Is this where you got yours?

I have a heather moffat & its is excellent! I have a very lop sided TB and the pad moulds where it needs to be.

One tip though when putting on especially in the cold-put on and put girth on one hole each side-wait for horses body heat to warm up pad and then tighten.

I usually put on 1st hole then put all the boots on the legs first then get hat on and boots myself then walk out to mounting block and tighten up then.

Works a treat &well worth the money

Are these designed to compensate for ill fitting saddles or muscle wastage? Or to increase bearing like a prolite pad, never heard of them.
