Thorn or Zoe Snape saddle pad

[Peregrine Falcon]

Am going to get an new saddle pad for April. Am looking at either of these two, what are your experiences please? Which one would you chose?

I gave up with trying to get a saddle for her, a 11.2 shitland X with picnic table back. She's got a saddle pad now but I want something a bit smarter for William to ride her in at shows.

if I had the choice I would get a Thorn Deluxe pad

I have a Snape pad and it's great for an oversized shetland rider lol! I've never tried a Thorne pad but people really do rate them.

I've got a Snape and have tried a Thorn...IMHO the Snape gives better protection over the ponies back (my McTimoney back lady agrees) as it's much thicker than the Thorn and it also has proper stirrup bars (so leathers can come off in an emergency) whereas the Thorn had a closed buckle to attach stirrup leathers to.
