I also have seen diificulties in how the bottom of the inserts are a bit of a pressure point on the ribs. I have seen the thinline and they seem like a good pad. I like your idea of the fleeceworks and the thinline. Thanks for reading and posting.<br /><br />Hi Catherine- let me know how the skito holds up as you increase distances. Everyone has different experiences and it's always fun to hear what is working for others. thanks for stopping by!Jonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455369648954700046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029266190277669434.post-84442392564596062592009-09-19T09:07:55.465-07:002009-09-19T09:07:55.465-07:00Hi Jonna. Good post. I had someone give me a Skito...Hi Jonna. Good post. I had someone give me a Skito pad (a newer one, too) last year. Normally I am a wool girl but I do like the Skito. Like you I think the overall appearance is odd but the pad has been performing well and my horse always has a dry topline. Granted, I'm not conditioning for endurance yet, just doing trail rides (long and short). Not sure how it performs on the really long hauls.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12836351139158725755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029266190277669434.post-91838341598642044602009-09-18T20:59:43.268-07:002009-09-18T20:59:43.268-07:00Haf Pads tend to rub at the seams on the rear of t...Haf Pads tend to rub at the seams on the rear of the pad. I am with you and like natural fibers against the horse. I have two Equipedic pads, so apparently I liked them at one point, but have been using sheepskin for the past two years. I have used Mattes, Engel and Fleeceworks. I currently have two Fleeceworks, which I couple with a ThinLine (just the ThinLine foam, not one of their pads with the foam integrated). The sheepskin against the horse speaks for itself, and the ThinLine absorbs shock and provides a bit extra for the horse. The sheepskin pads don't last as long as others, and are harder to maintain, but I really don't care if I have to replace one every year. Their new line should be interesting.

It will be telling when I get to try one I guess on any distance.The Fleeceworks pads seem to be pretty nice.Jonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455369648954700046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029266190277669434.post-27398195287171875592009-09-17T13:52:55.856-07:002009-09-17T13:52:55.856-07:00Very good review.

It doesn't "stick" like te tacky-too backing of some of the other popular pads. <br /><br />Good luck on your search! I was interested to hear about the Fleeceworks pads....I may have to look into them. I'm finally content with my selection of pads and having one for every situation, but it's hard to resist something that *could* be even better...Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627065628317652042noreply@blogger.com
