It just moved up a little in my book because the more I sit and think about it, the more I really would like the half pad and saddle pad to be an all-in-one deal! I'm going to make a trip to the local Dover store either Friday evening or next week because most of these are at Dover anyway!Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-72269389411607125362016-03-29T13:54:53.017-04:002016-03-29T13:54:53.017-04:00+1 for the circuit pad.

If you get them on sale at Dover I think they're $99.jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-13784630090942947732016-03-29T10:33:49.707-04:002016-03-29T10:33:49.707-04:00Interesting!

He's got some sabino/rabicano characteristics already (creeping socks, white hairs up at the top of his tail, white flecking throughout his coat), and from what I've read, rabicano clusters at the flanks and branches out. He definitely has more white hairs at his flanks, and more than he did last year!Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-6331828171280552982016-03-29T10:31:09.932-04:002016-03-29T10:31:09.932-04:00Hmm, so I don't want that.

I'm not crazy about the circuit pad, but I'm really thinking I want the half pad built in and I don't think I want to spend almost $200. Not yet anyway.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-82276813712200491652016-03-29T10:25:09.042-04:002016-03-29T10:25:09.042-04:00another mention on ECP: i have their shimmable hal...another mention on ECP: i have their shimmable half pad and the shim material has compressed to literally nothing in a very few short months, so it ultimately probably wouldn't be a good substitute for a half pademmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-35413109866236620432016-03-29T09:58:48.640-04:002016-03-29T09:58:48.640-04:00My mother's mare is 13 (also out of LOTS of gr...My mother's mare is 13 (also out of LOTS of grey horses, she was supposed to grey out but never did) and is a bay, she's got a ton of grey hairs this summer too.

As for the Ecogold, I'm generally very diligent about keeping white items white, but an almost $200 pad that stains easily scares me! I've seen them on the eventers, and I really like them too. I'll check out the Ogilvy pad anyway!

I threw it in the running since it does have the half pad built in.<br /><br />I have a pair of SMBs, but I want to stay away from those- I haven't heard good things about using them as turnout boots (legs getting a reaction from the extended contact with them and heat build up), and I'm VERY particular about how they're put on because I rarely see them put on correctly. Seeing them put on wrong on other people's horses makes my eyes bleed, so I'd never ask someone to put them on my own horse (especially when they're in a hurry to get the horses out).Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-25232607035105582272016-03-29T08:16:08.247-04:002016-03-29T08:16:08.247-04:00I have not heard great things about the longevity ...I have not heard great things about the longevity of that top non-slip material on the ECP pad. Kind of a bummer, because they are the "cheap" version of the Ecogold, but not if they fall apart quickly. Otherwise the only ones I have personal experience with are the TSF (friend had it, it would not EVER stay in place during a ride) and the Ecogold (tons of eventers have these, haven't heard anything bad about them yet except you have to be diligent about keeping it clean or it'll stain pretty fast). I'm a huge fan of my Ogilvy square pads (the high wither cut is AWESOME) but they don't exactly fit your size requirement.The $900 fb ponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04123067982715868323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-87063181777484874012016-03-29T08:05:29.874-04:002016-03-29T08:05:29.874-04:00I have a total saddle fit half pad and I like it, ...I have a total saddle fit half pad and I like it, but I don't know if I full price like it. It doesn't do anything magical but it is a nice half pad.<br /><br />As far as turnout boots go, I tried using SMBs but Stinker never kept them on so I gave up. I never had a problem with heat, but he was also pulling them off quite rapidly... So not much help there.EventingSaddlebredStylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610596082916022402noreply@blogger.com
