Highlighted Reviews

β€” Lora

"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."

β€” 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."

Bottom Line

Consider this pad if you need a lightweight, custom-fit option. Be prepared to pair it with a thicker pad if extra cushioning is needed.
