Success Equestrian Deluxe Dressage No-Slip Saddle Pad

The?Success Equestrian Deluxe Dressage No-Slip Saddle Pad will keep your saddle pad and saddle in place. No more bunching up behind your leg, no more saddle slipping too far back or riding up the neck and no more over tightening of girths. This pad prevents slippage on even the hardest to fit horses. The fully contoured top line ensures comfort for your horse. Designed with the air flow grip only where you need it, this new style will help prevent extra sweating under the rear flap of the saddle pad. A soft satin fabric on the wither area is used to ensure comfort. Easy to wash with a non-bleach detergent in warm water. It's even ok to spot treat. Hang dry.

I've been using this pad for about 2 weeks and so far I love it. Other pads slip on my horse and this one really does stay put. I was impressed with how well it came through the wash but can't really speak to its durability yet.

These are the only pads I will use on my horses. Not only do my saddles finally stay in place, but my horses are happier. The pads wash well and look great at shows.

I have 5 of these pads and love them. The value/price of this pad is outstanding in comparison to that of other non-slip pads on the market. Two saddle fitters have stated that the padding does not add bulk under the saddle but does provide cushion and comfort while remaining in place. I had initially bought this type of pad due to others shooting out behind the saddle. This has never been a problem with the Success Equestrian Deluxe Dressage pad.
My only critique is how the pad washes.. It looked well used upon the first wash. In fairness it has held up with no difficulty. If showing in this pad, I'd recommend having an extra one or two on hand for the crisp/fresh look.

My horse has no withers and I have tried EVERYTHING in the past to keep my saddles in the middle of his back but they always end up rolling. So far this pad keeps my saddle centered and my horse seems to love the padding. I am very tall and my dressage saddle is a 17.5" with an extra long flap- the large pad still seems a little long through the spine. It's not huge just a little bigger than my other pads.

I ordered the large, just in case, because my gelding is tall for a Welsh cob and he's stored up a nice paunch to get through the winter. The size is great, but then the pad is great overall. Even with his girth a few holes looser (maybe it's only in my mind, since he's very quiet for girthing anyway, but I'm sure he loves that), the No-Slip pad keeps everything beautifully centered. My trainer, a high ranking competitor in multiple disciplines, loves it. (Shhh...I may get her one for Christmas.) PS. spring for the monogram..it's pretty ; )

Very well made, stays in place on my round mare, the grippy material holds saddle in place and holds pad in place. The description of pad did not say it had gripping material against horse, which it does, perfect for helping from sliding forward and back, and side to side.........Super product for price, I paid twice as much for a different brand.

Lots of little features

Don't laugh, but my most favorite feature of this pad is the divided girth strap. I think this is part of the secret as to why this pad helps keep saddles from moving, it keeps the billet straps more secure. The other thing I like about it is that it comes in a "large" size that fits my horse and saddle from pommel to cantle and seat to end of flaps. I don't think I have that big of a saddle but it's really hard to find dressage saddle pads that don't look like pony pads under it. One more plus: the extra cushion under the seat. I have a custom saddle and didn't expect to need additional help ever again from the saddle pad but in between saddle fittings, it's nice to have slightly thicker padding in this area.

I didn't really pay attention that much on how well this was working, until my trainer said something about it. And upon taking off the saddle I could see by the sweat marks that the saddle had stayed behind the wither. I was impressed. She's a hard to fit horse, and pretty much all of the saddles go sideways (the saddle still did a little) and forwards. And it's so important for the saddle to stay in one place. I think that when I find a better fitting saddle, that this pad will completely stop all the motion.

This pad is the best ever. My trainer rode my horse with it and promptly ordered one for himself. He said he only ever wants to see this pad on my horse. It made the saddle seat feel softer and the horse went better. I bought it because my horse is a bit of a roley poley and the saddle was sliding back and forth. Not anymore! My horse is 15.2 and is very wide with lots of muscle. I ordered the large and it fits perfectly under my long skirted saddle. It isn't too long to interfere with my horse's 28 inch Wintec girth either. Does well in the commercial washer and hung to dry.

This pad is very well made, with nice thick padding under the non slip material and everything looks to be durable. The fit is OK. My dressage saddle still slips forward a bit, but much better than the slippage I experienced with a regular pad

This pad stays put and keeps my saddle in place. I have used the more expensive Ecogold pads, but I prefer the Success Pad. It is less expensive and I find it "stickier" than the Ecogold pad. This pad is well worth the money. It works!
