"I was looking for a thin pad to go under a Mustang Soft Ride saddle. This pad is perfect. It’s approximately 1/4” thick and provides just enough protection for my horse without adding bulk."

— Jessica

"I know the description says built to reduce bulk but this pad is ridiculously thin. I wish there had been a thickness listed. Not much more padded than a bed quilt. This might be useful in combination with another thicker pad or something."
