I absolutely adore this saddle pad beyond words! I think it’s a new favourite - the colour is simply to die for 🙈 The diamantés around the trim makes it glisten in the sun & adds such a unique touch! I love the bamboo lining aswell, it allows the pad to be so much more breathable & I’ve found the new fabric doesn’t get dirty, anywhere near as quickly, which is awesome! The only thing I’ve found with these pads is that they were were a bit shorter (spinal length) than previous releases, but fortunately still fits my saddle 🙏🏼

I love this pad, and I own 7 equipads now, but I am not a fan of the new girth straps. I think the idea was great, but they just aren’t practical. My billets don’t line up, so I can’t use them, but purely because of my horses shape the pad slips without using the girth straps. I have heard of some other people and some friends having the same problem (my dressage and jump are both the same as well), so I know it’s not just me. I think it would be a great idea to have these seperate straps and then a normal girth strap over the top, so that there is the option for those to use what suits their horse/saddle.
