Is it acceptable to compete in a contoured pad?

I know it’s technically legal, but I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anyone with one. Since my horse is on the small side, I just thought something like this might be a little more tidy on us.

Yup! I think it will look nice. I’ve seen a few euro-cut pads on ponies and small horses too if you want another option.

Yes, and in fact judges and I have wondered where some we admired came from.

Truly, for all the judgment of others’ fashion choices here I’ve really only heard positives from judges when scribing.

that’s always nice to hear!

No one care.

Use whatever pad you feel is right for your horse.
