I know shimmable half pads are super popular, so why can’t I find a show pad? I don’t like the look or upkeep of the sheepskin pads. Is there any brand of fleece fitted pad that offers shim pockets? Or a half pad that anyone has found can neatly fit under a regular pad?
I came across this one in my internet travels:
EquineLUX makes a beautiful shaped show pad in either fleece or sheepskin that’s shimmable. I have the non-shimmable version that they customized for my forward flap jump saddle, in the fleece, and it’s lovely.
Unfortunately I only see sheepskin on the website now. I wonder if I email them they can make one in fleece?
I have this pad: https://www.toklat.com/Products/BP/26-091
I use the padding that’s included, but it could easily be replaced with custom shims.

They’re on the page I linked to if you scroll down. I also saw them listed if you go to the main menu and select hunter saddle pads.
You could certainly contact them as well. I found them great to deal with.
Ah, I finally got there. I don’t think the website is showing up properly on my phone. This looks like a good option! Thank you!
Not sure what area you need shimmed but
Acavallo has a variety of gel pads that I put on under my pads and they are awesome. I have the front riser aiirpad that is awesome for the shallow shoulders .
The great part is they hold everything thing in place.
My favorite is the the clear version . i have another that is front and back . Great for extra

I just bought a Prolite half pad with the white cover from a Hastilow rep. It’s light and thin and pretty unobtrusive…the cover is a thin nylon-ish material, so nothing fuzzy or bulky. I also really like the quality of the shims…they don’t compress but have good shock abosorption. I haven’t put it over a show pad yet but did buy white so that I could show in the hunter ring with it…I think it’ll definitely work.
I use a fleeceworks one.
