help! half pad for 19" saddle?

[chardo84]

HELP! I’m looking for a half pad for my dressage saddle.

It was a perfect fit before time off due to an injury, but now a bit too large in the tree. Until his topline and muscle builds back up or find a half pad that works, I won’t be using this saddle.

While there are a ton out of half pads out there, it’s been challenging to find some long enough for my saddle. Ogilvy has a longer option that should work, but I have to order vs buying from my local Dover. I’m not opposed to it, but it takes 2-5 weeks and I figured there must be other brands out there that make a longer pad.

Lami-cell, Acavallo and Prolite were all a little too short in length. Needs to be relatively thick - Prolite was too thin.

Anyone else out there have suggestions? TIA!

Fleeceworks in size XL

I have an 18.5 dressage saddle and the large mattes pads work fine. I would think an XL would give you more than enough room.

This is what I use, it’s quite large

I used a regular Ogilvy (not the XL) with my 19 inch Childeric saddle and it fit just fine

I don’t know if it’s thick enough, but the Thinline made for endurance saddles would work. You could get that and a piece of sheepskin cut to size and thus have a couple options to mix and match to your needs.

Not sure the measurements compare to saddle sizes as they are measured differently.

I have an XL Mattes which is more than big enough for my 18 with giant panels. It’s important to get the one without rear rolls - that really cuts down on how much space the saddle can fit on.

Thank you to everyone, I knew the community would have some suggestions. I am going to look into all these options.
