Non-slip pad recommendations

Limpets are good. I had a prolite too and good. Got a job lot and they have been and as you can cut them. Muddy hooves I think made them
 
Definitely barnsby grip pads are ace! They are expensive but really work and look smart and wear well. I have used mine constantly since about January ish and it still looks good and works a dream.
I have a gel grip thing but it annoys me that you can only use it twice before it loses all grippiness.
I also have a limpet pad type one which works quite well but just doesn't look that smart.
 
I've just bought a nuumed anti slip numnah for my GP ( they do them for dressage as well). It's fantastic, really worth the sixty quid.

I have the Ecogold jump one for my jump saddle but it isn't quite the right cut and have to say for the money (it was over £90) I have been disappointed with it.
I have the acavallo gel pad one combined with a dressage square - only used it twice since I got it due to events being cancelled and trying to keep it for good but been impressed with it so far :)
 
A piece of chamois leather (easily found in a car shop) does the job absolutely fine - just as well as any other non-slip pad that I have used.

The gel-eze pad is also good, but since the chamois leather is vastly cheaper I'm happy to stick with that!
 
As usual I'll disagree and say that your saddle isn't quite a perfect fit. In four years fitting very wide tricky horses I've yet to need a sticky pad to keep a saddle in place and really don't like them. Much better to seek out a second opinion and get your saddle fitting better. How would you like sticky pads against your skin to keep shoes on that were too big? Wouldn't you prefer shoes that fitted? (closest analogy I can think of)
 
I agree - I'm not the OP but unfortunately my saddle fitter is taking over a month to get my new saddle so I have to do my best with a borrowed one in the meantime.:p I nearly died when she told me how long it would be - I think they have to hunt the cow on foot to get the leather.

Good news - it comes next week.
