Prolite pads

[huskydamage]

Anyone use these? Are they any good? Looking at using one on my pony and I see they are one size, so hoping not too big and will stay put- no flying out the back of the saddle when I canter! Any reviews welcome ☺

Griffin nuumed are better in terms of not moving. The prolite ones do tend to move forward or back in my experience.

Had a couple of prolites fly out when I was working at a trekking centre, particularly on long stretches of canter/gallop. The YO stitched some girth loops onto them and that solved the problem for us.

I have to use a prolite on my youngster or he broncs (no problems just sensitive), it has never moved, even when he does bronc. I prefer them to sheepskins as they've much less bulky but they are a tight fit on a 17.5 saddle.

I have used prolites and found them to be very useful and although they can move on the odd occasion iv'e never had one fall out.

Best thing I ever bought! I bought the multi-riser and use the same one for all my horses - just adjust the shims. Never had it fall out while hacking, but getting it in to place while tacking up can be awkward.

I use one on one of my horses it can move back a bit but after a while you get to know where to position it to get less movement, if you are buying it for the shim aspect I would go for a nuumed shim numnah they are far better in my opinion, but if you just want some extra protection for the back they are fine.

I use them. They last forever and wash up well in the washing machine. You can get a "wide" version which is longer and wider if you have a large saddle. Also the old "standard" ones are longer than the newer version. I think they offer good protection if the flocking is a little uneven or if the saddle is a little too wide. I dont find they move, happy to jump in them xc etc, but they're not what I'd call a grip pad. I use Limpet numnahs for that.

I love them. Just wish they did a pony size in brown. I have never had any problems with them.

Never had mine fly out. Use it all the time.
