Spin-Off: Who Uses a SaddleRight Saddle Pad?

[ReeseTheBeast]

Thanks for all the information, guys! I’m seriously considering buying one… not that I have the money to do that right now, but what else is new? :rolleyes:

I feel like buying one would actually be an investment, vs. a frivolous purchase… if anybody else has more info they’d like to share, please do! I’m open to being enabled :winkgrin:

I was inspired by this thread and ordered one.

They are manufactured in the US by two people.

I requested that they say a prayer ffor my horse while making it.

I was told they would.

Reviving this thread. Any newly converted SaddleRight users? Any long-time users want to sing the gospel? Why did you start using one? What do you like/dislike? I’d love to hear any and all feedback. Thanks!

I recently started using one again, this time under my treeless saddle. It provides enough spinal clearance to keep my horse comfortable and yet doesn’t make me feel perched. I bought a used pad from a Facebook Group that specializes in them.

Because my treeless saddle is a Sensation Western Sport, I bought a Western Barrell Pad. Turquoise! love the color but in the past, when I used one with an English saddle, I had saddle leather rather than suede. I think the leather looks nicer over the long term, but doesn’t impact performance.

My RideRite bad is 15 years old. My daughter and I had to share it. Now that she’s has moved away I still IU use it even though “our” horse has a “dippier” back than my he had 10 years ago. The RideRite not so good on 5 your old OTTB—a ThinLine Bare back pad better for his developing back—looks way ghetto though.

I had the same experience. Picked up a Saddle Right leather-half pad at a tack swap meet and I just could not get it to work on my OTTB’s back. It kept “tenting” instead of conforming properly to the withers and back. I was so bummed because I know people absolutely adore their leather half pads and they last forever.

The Butet leather half pad looks like it has a more forgiving set up for shark fin withers.
