I have a saddle pad addiction...

XxLiveToRidexX · 07-05-2008, 08:19 AM

Hehe I just bought a saddle pad for my new boy.
Yet to have a saddle.

My collection will slowly grow, as I have time to make the dressage pads.

Right now I have 3 dressage pads, 1 half pad, 1 western pad, and my new saddle will have semi-attached bootie pads (one on each side).

Wow I feel left out! I have like 3 english pads and one half pad. And then a few western pads, but I only use two of them. The rest of them are the normal like fleece pads with the patterns on top and I prefer neoprene support/air ride pads so those are the only ones I use lol. I was just thinking of how I need to go saddle pad shopping soon.

Wow...I guess I have a lot of catching up to do

I have one saddle pad as of right now.... my trainer got me hooked on using saddle right pads (and Titus really fusses a whole lot less when you ride him in one) so it may be awhile before I'm up to 30+ pads....unless my fussy boy would stand to have a more affordable pad on his back

I do too! I get the Smith Brothers catalog and there's always about 10 Mayatexs that I want. I have 3, plus two others. There are a lot of pretty ones! I love the bright pretty colors. I have one in different shades of purple and another in Canary Yellow and Lime, and on in Flaming pink,black and tan. I want more!

I have 5 saddle pads

I own 2 saddles, though they're both for sale, and I own and lease a horse!

I have...
1 English AP pad
2 Dressage pads
2 show pads (1 AP, 1 dressage)

I'm Meaghan, and I'm addicted to saddle pads.

AND POLOS! Basically... if I buy a saddle pad, I have to buy polos to match... if I buy polos I have to buy a saddle pad to match. I think that's just the rules of riding.

I am in the same vote, but I think mine is worse as I have 15 saddle pads for my english not including 3 half pads and a fitted on.. Then 3 western pads... I need serious help...

I have 5 square pads and I *had* a white show pad, but I left it in the lesson barn one day and haven't seen it since. (This was in September of last year. Lol) I also have 2 or 3 risers. No half pads as I can't make myself pay $50 to $80 dollars for one. Plus, I don't think the half pad would lift the saddle off of my pony's back enough - he's tiny. Lol. I used to borrow my friend's, but she wanted it back after a few months.

I think my true addiction is bits! I have like, 10 and only one pony. Haha. And I can use any one of the them and he doesn't care - that makes it even easier to go out and buy a new one. And I just did two days ago.

I own about 50 saddle pads. Amy has probably 25.
I also have about 25 pairs of polos, and Amy has about 12.
