Review on ECP Mesh Full Size Purpose by Daron Ellis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Perhaps best as a second pad on a thinner one.

I like that this pad is very airy and breathable, but compresses quite thinly with very little pressure (a light finger pressure is enough). I'm not sure if it really gives more grip or is more comfortable than a regular cotton pad. I also found that the hair on my horse's back under the pad looked disheveled and irritated after using it as the sole feed. The underside is mostly thin mesh material, and I think during my trip his hair came through holes in the mesh. It looks like he must have been uncomfortable. It seems to me that it is better to use a thinner cotton pad under it. But if you want to do this, you can use half a pad. All in all, this isn't a perfect pad and I don't think I would buy it again.

Pros
  • Saddle Pads
Cons
  • The list is getting long.
