Euro cut, close contact shaped, semi-shaped, eventing profile. Different names for the shape of pad that is CC contour in front, but then cut up a bit at the back, rather than cut straight across like a typical square pad.
Ogilvy makes this cut, BR has had a couple in the past, and Eskadron came out with one last winter in their Heritage collection.
But are there other brands that make a similarly shaped pad, that maybe have another name for the shape?
This is my favourite shape for my pony, because they are big enough for my 17.5" saddle and 18.25" (from edge of sheepskin to edge of sheepskin) Thinline Trifecta halfpad, but don’t swallow his entire barrel like a lot of square pads do.
The Eskadron pad is a little bigger in the flap area than the BR pads, which is great because my new saddle is more of an AP so has a bit of a longer/straighter flap than my old CC, but I dislike the fleece wither bit, especially since I pair it with a sheepskin edged halfpad.
Has anyone seen the Ogilvy eventing pad in person? The square pads are massive, but I really love the quality and the nonslipness of them. I wonder if the eventing cut is any shorter in the back corner area than the baby pads, or if they’re like baby pad length in bavk and profile pad length in front.
