CSI Pads

[el vaquero]

Anyone use these? If so, what do you think? They kind of caught my attention. Do they even compare to Saddleright Pads?

Hm ... I don't know - I hadn't heard of them till now. Here's what I use, on recommendation from a friend who has tried many different pads:

I'll ask her if she's used CSI or Saddleright pads ... the underpad is the one that looks most interesting to me, although 3/4" is a bit too thick for under a blanket with my saddle - 1/2" would be better. I had to quit putting a blanket over my Pro Orthopedic pad.

I am a big fan of 5star Equine Pads. I got that pad and didn't want to take it to the barn because it felt like cashmere! It's fabulous. I want to order another one.

I would like to get on of Reata's pads too. ::hint::hint:::

LOL My saddle pads are not fancy.. They are just pure wool blanket outside and a nice thick but soft wool felt inside.. they are not shaped.. they shape by themselves with use.. But they do have leather wear patches.. I have been making them for about 6 years and I have sold lots of them .. :eek:

Exactly! Lol. I like pure wool. I don't like any of the new gels and crap they put in pads. They break down real quick and I don't believe that they allow the horse to breathe. I used to have (and still own) an impact gel and a prof choice, but I never use them. I use my 5-star which is JUST wool. I love it. But I still want a Ratsee one. =) Do I get to chose the color? =P

Ok, I will bring a couple to the Californios again next year.. the way your dollar is and the cost of postage makes it too expensive to post them ..What colour would you like??
Pink Like Roomans?? LOL
Black, indigo, royal blue, bottle green, burgandy, purple, red, collarcheck, home tarten, teal, navy ?????

Reata: If you can do teal or turquoise that would be fantastic! But from what I understands it's real hard to dye. If not, I would like mine REDDD! The redest red that there is. I wan to get he turquoise SMB Elite boots: http://www.profchoice.com/htmldocs/prd/protgear/prd/smbe4.html
