Review on Revolutionize Your Horse'S Riding Experience With Kavallerie Gel Saddle Pad - Ideal For Dressage, Jumping, And Eventing by Tony Trotter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great pad. Highly recommend, especially for dressage riders

I picked up this pad to use on a horse with a sensitive back. I was very impressed with the quality and functionality of the pad. It's strong, flexible and - most importantly - provides lots of shock absorption. My horse moved more freely on the first ride. I tried it on a few other horses with similar results. I ride dressage and it fits nicely under my 17" and 17.5" saddles. It was not as "sticky" as I expected it to be after reading some of the reviews, but any initial stickiness dissipated after 2-3 uses. I use the standard model, but am already thinking about adding the front-riser version to my collection for horses that have a bit of a dip behind the withers to help limit the impact of the saddle while their muscles develop. It seems very durable and it is SO MUCH EASIER to care for than a pad with fleece, just hose it off an go! Great product, I would recommend it to anyone - and have recommended it to a few at my own barn!

Pros
  • ‎25.6 x 20 x 1.5 inches
Cons
