I have been showing at the Iowa County Fair for 10 years and the Wisconsin State Fair for six years. I am excited to represent Iowa County and canât wait to see everyone at the 160th Iowa County Fair.
There are so many âcorrectiveâ pad options available nowadays, and there are a few different types that serve specific purposes very effectively. The pads we are covering in this article are most focused on protecting a horseâs back and improving saddle fit, which helps narrow the field. The three most useful are foam topped pads (ie Thinline), Sheepskin pads, and shim pads.
If your saddle fits perfectly, then Iâd suggest either a straight forward sheepskin pad (like a Six Point Saddle Pad Sheepskin Half Pad), or a simple Ultra Thinline. They both have different benefits. The Six Point Saddle Pad will provide better moisture wicking and heat dispersion since it is real sheepskin.
