I’ve always used a sheepskin half pad to show Hunters in, but have seen people use numnahs too. I don’t prefer the look of them, but what do others think?
I have a TB cross with high withers and am still getting the saddle fit right. I think having just a half pad for shows is not enough padding - to school I use a jumper pad, western 1/2" felt pad that I’ve cut to the shape of a half pad, and then my Ogilvy half pad. I’ve shown with the shaped felt under my sheepskin half pad, but it’s not the best and you can see it.
Also, I’m showing in Canada! Hunters are less… serious… than in the US.
Suggestions?
TIA!
