Best Friend Equine
Western Bareback Pad
Western Miscellaneous
Manufacturer: Best Friend Equine
Model: Western Bareback Pad
Category: Western Miscellaneous
Purchase: I bought this item directly from Best Friend Equine for $79.99 (+ S&H). I wanted a bareback pad with some "grip" for both me and my horse, didn't want to spend $200+ on some of the name brand ones out there, and wanted a girthing system that was easily adjustable.
Likes: I LOVE the grip it provides! The pad does not slip on his back nor am I slipping and sliding on him. I'm able to concentrate on my riding and not worry about sliding off. The faux suede is just grippy enough for me and the textured grippy bottom is great for him. The girth is made of the same material so it's also slip free. I also love the pockets to hold little things like treats, gloves, cell phone, etc. The water bottle holder/pocket is great for those hot days just walking down the trail, too.
Dislikes: The only thing I don't like is that when my gelding sweats, the color from the girth straps bleed into his coat (I have the Navy Blue pad and he's a grey). Other than that, I'm in love!
Quality: So far I have had no issues with the construction of it and the quality is great.
Summary: This is a GREAT buy and definitely worth every penny. The little extra cost is worth getting the pockets on it, too.
