"I normally don't believe in these things. However, I bought the Contender II pad because it was pretty and looked really durable. I really noticed a difference this pad made when I finally had to wash it and was using a normal pad in the meantime. This pad helps my horse loosen and warm up his back. Plus, it's durable and washes up good as new. I won't be using any other pad from now on!"

"I purchased this pad for my young horse. We had not been successful in getting him properly fitted in his saddle. That, plus being tense and high strung, led to a very tight back. The first time I used this pad, I could tell a difference. Warm up time was shortened considerably. He is much happier and willing to move forward more freely. Nothing takes the place of good training and developing the proper musculature but this pad definitely makes to job easier!"

"I have a lease mare that is older, and a bit stiff. She does heat up a bit faster with this pad. I think it does help warm up for working more quickly. That said, I haven't noted any 'amazing' changes in her normally great mentality either way.
It's a great size, plenty of clearance for my saddle. It is good quality material and stitching. It is a thicker pad, but not bulky. The girth straps are in a correct position and the billet straps are velcro (so easy to attach and remove). Overall, very happy with this purchase."

"I have had and used this pad for about 3 months now. My once cranky mare when I would girth up the saddle, now stands like nothing is fazing her. The pad has made such a difference when saddling and riding. When warming up, she is so much looser and free moving then ever before. This pad is making such a huge difference in my mare's attitude. Soreness in her back is minimal as a result, hence the OOH AHH! A suggestion to keep it white longer: I sprayed the outside of the pad with a fabricate protectant. It is staying clean and white. Love this pad!"

"fits my OTTB high withers perfectly. she seems more flexible for her 18 years! the special ceramic within the pad itself is a good idea.. Anything that would aid my horse in feeling good about being ridden is worth a try."

"I was hoping this pad might improve my warm-up on my TB/Connemara gelding. He needs to go from walk to canter and actually do some jumping before you get any serious trot work. He's a cribber with a short tight back. The pad is thicker than I am used to, but seems to conform nicely under the saddle and is well made. I feel like I have a nice saddle pad, but I don't think it has made a difference in my horse's performance."

"My horse has responded very well to the saddle pad. She stretches down very willingly much sooner in our ride than before. I put the saddle pad on her back while I am grooming her to give her back some extra time to warm up."

"The saddle pad is the best I've ever used. It absorbs the sweat while riding and keeps the horse dry. It rinses off with water effectively and good as new when dry. I couldn't be more pleased. I think it also helps with riding on-the-bit and through for the dressage horse."

"I am overweight, so I worry that my horses will get sore backs. I use this pad, along with the thin line, to hope to reduce this risk. So, far, so good... no sore backs. I have had this pad for about 20 months, and it is starting to show wear. I have never been able to keep a pad this long. I am reviewing now, because I did some research on the back on track site while trying to consider whether I should buy a new one. They say even when they show wear (my black pad has areas near where my legs rub, etc, with white wear areas) the pad still works. I am really happy that I do not have to purchase another expensive pad to still feel that I am doing what I can to protect my horses' backs. Plus, I'm working on weight loss, of course! :) I think this pad is worth the extra money for injury prevention and treatment."

"I have ridden my horse in my B.O.T dressage pad for a month now and I have to say that it actually works. He is no longer girthy at tacking up and I can feel his back round at the canter. As an experiment, I rode him in a regular pad the other day and he was much stiffer at the canter and girthy again. Now I need more pads!
Expensive, but worth it."

"... worth it! All of my horses respond well to the Back on Track products. This pad helps shorten warm up time for my "teenagers," but also takes the edge off my young mare, who used to be fidgety when tacking up and mounting. This is one pad, however, that you do not want to cut off the velcro, as it does slip a little if you use a half pad."

"I have a couple of these saddle pads, and some of my horses just respond really well to them. They're calming to them during tacking and mounting, and they really do reduce warm up time for horses that are usually a little stiff through the back. They are pricy, but they look nice, clean up easily and wear well. Worth it."

"I bought my first BoT product in Nov 2011. I was skeptical but soon came to realize that it helped my Cold Backed horse a lot. He hasn't been cold backed since the initial purchase and his back soreness went away. This year I went ahead and bought 2 more since the first pad was getting used every ride and pretty stained!"

"This is my third Back on Track Dressage Pad but the first one that I had embroidered with my horse's name. The pad is high quality and maintains it's thickness through a lot of use and washings. I believe that it does help to warm up my 15 yr. old Dutch Warmblood's back. I use this pad in black for schooling and white for showing."

"I purchased this pad because my 13 year old Thoroughbred always came out stiff and required a long warm up (20+ minutes) before he was comfortable and loose through the back and shoulder. This pad reduced that time significantly.
On my young/green Holsteiner mare, this pad has a calming affect. My workouts with her are much more relaxed and focused.
The materials are nice, too, in that the pad works nicely with my ThinLine and Mattes half pads for complete comfort for me and my horses. Definitely worth the price."

"I have been super impressed with all the BOT products, but especially the saddle pad. It's a wonderfully made pad, very durable, thick, and high quality. Since using it, I have noticed a big change in how my mare warms up. She starts stretching out, and using her back about 10-15 minutes sooner than normal, and gets that lovely swing-y back end. I don't use it to cut down on our warm up time, but to use it more effectively and to make it more comfortable for her. I wouldn't have thought a saddle pad would have made that much of a difference, but I am REALLY happy I purchased it!!"
