What do you put under your roller?

[RachelB]

I've started walking my horse out for her rehab in a Pessoa - I usually put an old thick numnah under the roller and fold the back over so it's double thickness over the spine, but I seem to have mis-placed ALL my numnahs in the last very-nearly-18-months I haven't been riding my horse! I found an old fluffy hand towel and am using that but I want to get something a bit nicer (and I want my towel back

)
Does anyone use the Poly Pads roller pad thing? Is it any good? Does it slip? I'm not sure I want to fork out £25 for a Prolite roller pad! Suggestions appreciated

The Poly Pad roller things are great and I haven't noticed they slip or anything! I actually use an old cushion/pillow! It works really well, or infact a piece of fibregee does the trick!

I use a sheepskin 1/2 pad under mine but have used a couple of bandage pads in the past!

Good idea about the fibergee... except that I cannot STAND the stuff, it makes me shudder as it sticks to the rough skin on my hands and feels just horrible!

I may get a Poly Pad in that case

I have the pp roller pad and am sure i wouldnt have spent that much on one! Got mine from Frogpool ..

i use a prolite pad, but have also used a polypad and they imo are good, mite slip a tad, not massive movement tho,

i dont put anything under

well i put a poly pad under the roller on the mare cause the roller is ever so slightly too big!

I have a poly pad roller thingy, it did slip once and came flying out from under the roller but that was because I didn't have it done up tight enough

Other than that it's been fab!

nothing, mine has the absence of anything on the spine

Have a poly pad roller numnah. Although on high withered beasties you may need to stitch on some velcro....you can get meters of the stuff cheap on ebay.

we use a fleece pad too, we bought it years ago and its still like new, we have it here with a basic surcingle but we use it with breaking rollers too

You mad people all buying roller pads!!!!

I use a normal polypad/rambo pad or similar and fold it in half
