Horse & Rider Gear

Reviews

When I bought my first horse last year, I had to outfit him in everything from hooves to head... I discovered these Saddle pads at my local tack shop and was attracted to their classic looks -- nice piping around the edges, thick quilted padding, good size (which was important considering my horse was about 100 pounds overweight at the time :-O ). They had nice colors (Ollie is a dark bay so figured the khaki green looked particularly nice on him ;-) They have velcro straps to hook onto the billets of your saddle so they stay in place. The underside is a soft microfiber and overall, the pad seems absorbent and breathable (his sweat soaks through and wicks away like a cotton t-shirt). A year later, though the color has a faded a little bit, there are absolutely no signs of wearing out. The stitching is still perfect, the straps are still firmly in place, and it goes through the washer and dryer with ease. These still look nearly as good as the day I bought them (I bought 2 to rotate). These pads cost much less than many other pads that don't seem to be built as well or look as nice. These are a great value and wouldn't hesitate to buy the Roma brand for other pieces of "horsey clothes". I'm very satisfied.
