Saddle pads - Anky vs. Eurostar

[showjumpergirl]

I love my Anky pad for washing so well; it has been thrown into the machine countless times and has retained its shape and colour and looks almost as good as it did when I bought it a couple of years ago. Does anyone know how the Eurostar pads (particularly the "Excellent" range) compare on this front? I don't want to splash out on one only to find that it looks tatty after a few washes!

TBH i find they do not fit well, they are a very square shape and seem to pull down on the withers and wrinkle up at the back.

i bought a few over a few years but sold them all on and now stick to Anky, Eskadron, Scapa and Fairplay.

I'm not the biggest fan of Eurostar - £60 on a pad for it go bobbly and mis-shapen in the first wash! Also not a fan of Anky but that's because the jump cut saddlecloths are too short for the flaps on my saddle and get pulled down very tightly over the withers.

I'm an Eskadron and Le Mieux girl now, won't use anything else.
