I’ve tried various wool felt and fleece saddle pads with Mac, but the ones that seem to work best for him are the saddle blankets that are on the thinner side because his saddle already fits him well and something too thick is, well, too thick! (how’s that for a run-on sentence?! :lol:)
I’m using something like this:

And then I have another one like this:

How do I wash these? I was using them on top of a thinner wool felt pad, but it still seems just a bit too much with all of it together. I don’t know if I’m overly paranoid or what, but Mac does have withers and these are the only pads light enough that I can pull them up into the gullet so that the pad doesn’t smush him in the withers (even a wither relief pad).
I’ve thought of an alpaca pad - I remember someone in the past recommended those. How would I wash one of those?
