**new Le Mieux**

Yes! Ginger and Glacier featured in the spoiler! Didn’t have the exact name though just the colours. Also a brown one and a navy which looked a bit like Atlantic. It didn’t show the red one though…that could be a new one too!

Good sleuthing!
 
They’re not bad. But not my cup of tea. Glacier is probably the only one I’d go for.

My LeMieux Saddlepads and I have parted ways in to the storage bag of the tack room just now. I have no idea why but my horse was doing the muscle tremor thing (like when they have a fly on them) so after trying out a couple in case it was a stray hair or something, I changed him back to an old Nuumed half sheepskin I had and the tremor stopped and he even rode so much nicer! Strange.

I can't use anything but wool nuumed on Arabi he hates anything else always has.

That's cos it's wool fleece and not sheepskin :). The sheepskin may have changed the fit more than the wool, it usually does, but there may have been particular issues (original quality/design, wear/tear) with your sheepskins, I'm not a Le Mieux fan as many know (check out Mattes custom pads, HUGE colour choices for every component, basically design your own pad).

Watch out with Nuumed for the back getting hard patches, it's the hair working through the fleece's knitted lining, and you must remove the hair and stitch back up, don't carry on using it.

I brush mine with a metal rake thing it gets all the hairs out and stops it going flat.

Ahh interesting that that works, thanks. I personally much prefer sheepskin but good to know.

I do have a really fluffy nuumed numnah it doesn't flatten as much as the other ones, it's weird because Louis seems to favour that one yet Arabi likes the flat ones, they are all different I suppose just like us.
 
I actually like a lot of the colours this time but I wish they would make their pads a bit shorter - even in their photos the pads are quite a bit longer than the saddle flaps, or am I missing something and it's better to have them longer?
