Hey there all!
I am looking to get my half pad replaced. Would love to keep getting my jump saddle reflocked but every 6 months it seems to go flat pretty quick ever since I got it flocked the first time. At the moment there is one fitter that can come to where we are and I need something to ease the dipping until the months pass when they can come out.
I am currently using an Eco-gold memory foam half pad that I LOVE! Mattes pads doesn’t hold anything to this great pad.
But the pad got flat after a year and I need a half pad with front risers or inserts. I had a sheepskin with front inserts that doesn’t cut it, he doesn’t feel great under it.
I saw the Ogilvy is thicker and more like the memory foam of the Eco-gold. The price is a bit staggering but they do offer front inserts for the pad.
Also came across Lamicell.
I wanted to hear if anyone has tried either of these and if they offer a bit more padding or cushion for a saddle that is a tad wider.
My horse needs a m/w saddle but his withers need a bit more fill in or paneling (we have custom panels in our dressage to fit) so we tend to use a front riser foam pad. Thanks in advance for any experiences.
