"Although I have only had this pad for two weeks or so, I highly recommend it! In extremely hot weather, my horse did not sweat that much. You can even just feel it and you know it'll work, love the material."

"I got this pad in Smartblue as a gift for Christmas. I am very impressed with the quality. At first I wasn't sure if I would like the material, but I love how durable it is! I have had trouble in the past with my saddle sliding back as I ride, but this pad eliminates that problem. The underside grips the horse and the top layer grips the saddle well. My horse seems very comfortable and sweats less. I would highly recommend this pad to anyone and will probably buy another one!"

"This is a beautiful saddle pad! I ordered the dressage pad, and it's size is perfect for my 16 hand warmblood. The only problem is that my saddle has been fitted exactly to my horse, which makes this pad way too thick for the saddle! Because the pad is thick & squishy (which, normally, I like), it makes the saddle fit too tightly. So it looks like I won't be able to use it, which kills me because I love it! The blue is beautiful on my light grey (white) boy. Although I can't use it on my horse, I would certainly recommend it to a friend. The quality is excellent & I think it is a pad that would last for a long time."

"I am extremely displeased with this product, especially considering the good quality of the other Kensington quality.
It slips down to put pressure on my horse's withers when I use it, even when I pull it up to attempt to prevent it. It doesn't fit my all purpose saddle very well, either."

"I bought one of these pads in blue and one in pink for my two horses. I love them. The pads are very thick, so I don't need the additional pad I usually use with the saddle. My horses are older, so keeping them comfortable under saddle is extremely important to me. I would recommend this pad."

"I really like this pad - it's made of very durable material that repels dirt nicely, so not much cleaning is necessary. And I didn't really believe what I read at first about it wicking away sweat, but it honestly does!! I was very impressed...after a very intense riding session, there was nothing under the pad when I took the saddle off! Very nice product, I would definitely recommend to others."

"I purchased this pad for my thoroughbred, very prominent withers and sensitive hide. She will quiver if she doesn't like the way a pad feels, but no quivering with this one, Also, after riding in 92 degree weather , usually can see the exact sweat pattern of the pad, not with this one! I was afraid the saddle would slip but no problem. I love it and so does my mare."

"I received this saddle pad for my birthday. It is one of my favorite pads. I fits my horse great, and does not rub her withers, which I have had a problem with with other pads. The bottom side wicks away the sweat, and I am sure she stays a lot cooler during rides. I love this pad, and would recommend it!"

"I was really skeptical when I received this pad- the outside plaid material reminded me of a lawn chair. However, on the reverside, next to the horse, it is extremely soft and gel-like which is PERFECT for any horse's back. My horse used to be at a barn without an indoor arena and quickly got out of shape in the winter. I moved him to a different barn and started riding again, but he was always so sweaty and it took me forever to dry him off before being turned out. With this pad, there is no sweat! It is a miracle! It is so durable, I might buy a different color for fun!"

"The Kensington Saddle Pad is a terrific pad and well worth the cost. It is fleecy underneath and the top wears really, really well. It still looks new, even after months of use. I love the color combos, too. My grey looks really good in the SmartBlue Plaid."
