After a summer of hacks and a couple of clinics, the pad still looks fresh. It doesn’t creep under the saddle, even without straps, and my horse’s back has stayed happy. Tossed it in the wash per the care instructions and it came out great. Ordering was straightforward and the delivery estimate was accurate for a made-to-order item. I feel confident grabbing another model for dressage now. It’s that rare mix of sturdy, comfy, and simple to care for.
