I need a new saddle pad. I can't put it aside anymore. My only saddle pad is 1 1/2 inches thick, and that's too thick. It makes all my saddles fit funny, even if they actually fit, it ruffles the hair on him to the point I feel it would rub him raw if I rode all day. It also traps heat, its old enough to be my grandmother, and it's hard and doesn't conform. So. Another pad is to be bought.
I'm thinking something 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Not too thick, as I found I can't stand extra bulk. It adds unnecessary pressure across his withers. I don't understand the huge hype with big huge thick bulky saddle pads.
Anyway. I'd like something to add some protection but not be cumbersome. I am having an extremely hard time just finding a pad less than an inch thick. If anyone has any success with anything at all, feel free to share what you use!
