The Ride’n Lite™ pad’s breakthrough Memory Felt™ center will instantly eliminate any concentrated, gravitational forces your saddle is now putting on your horse’s back and spine. The Ride’n Lite™ features a unique combination of Tacky-Too™ bottom, Memory Felt™ Orthopedic center, and durable Micro Suede Top. Special, contoured shape designed to match your horse’s withers.
Memory foam center not only provides orthopedic support but it also acts like a “vacuum” for keeping moisture away from your horse’s back. Pad does not absorb moisture so it stays lightweight and cool. Comes with an extra pad thickness in the bar area to relieve painful pressure from your horse’s spine. Its special Tacky-Too bottom eliminates saddle pad slippage while promoting air circulation. This anti-bacterial and anti-fungal pad is easily cleaned. Leather wear plates.

This is a great pad. Although, I would recommend that a saddle blanket be used under the pad to protect the horse from chaffing on the rear. The pad's edge has a type of rubber tubing that rubs on the horse. I tried moving the pad forward more which helped a little.

I've had this pad for just over a year now and it has held up remarkably well with weekly use. The suede top surface stays clean and bright and the tacky bottom still looks good too, although it has developed some small, permanent wrinkles where it bends down the center. That rubbery stuff is also kind of soft and I did gouge a small tear in it when trying to shove the pad onto a wooden saddle rack. The gold lettering on the wear plates has started to rub off too. I definitely agree with the other reviewers who've said that this pad is too long. It's WAY too long! It sticks out a good 5 inches behind my saddle skirts. I threw on a cantle bag to balance things out, but it still looks a little funny. No problems with rubbing from the back edge though.
Also, I've got a TWH, and even with the high wither profile of this pad, it's not quite high enough. He carries his head really high (it's a TWH thing, you wouldn't understand!) and the front edge of the pad hits him in the back of the neck. It's tight there too... shouldn't you be able to get at least one finger under the pad at the withers? The edges of this pad are really stiff, so I can't bend it/pinch it or tweak it to give him a gap there. So I think my next pad will have a cutback at the withers.

This saddle pad wasn't at all what I was looking for. Several people recommended it to me for my barrel horse and sadly it was a waste. It's very stiff and the build up is way too thick. It stands up off her back because of the built up part and made her sore. It's also very long, longer than it says in the description which contributes to the rubbing. I would really reccomend the Tack Too saddle pad instead. I have one and LOVE it!! As for this saddle pad...my saddle rolls on a half arab that I'm training so I'll try it on her and maybe the build up will help with the rolling.

I have used this pad on all my horses since they were introduced. As a riding instructor and trainer, I ride many different horses, and these pads are comfortable on virtually everyone. I have not had any problem with chafing at the back with any horse, even the smaller ones. I make sure I center the pad under the saddle and place the saddle in the proper position, i.e., with 2 fingers between the elbow and the cinch.
The price has been raised considerably, and it seems the pads wear down over the last year more quickly than before. I, too, would like to see the color choice that is available in the regular tacky two, and a hunter green one.

I had researched extensively to find a good, thick pad for my 2yo Walking filly. She has a very prominent back bone. I wanted something that would provide protection for her and easy to clean. After thorough research and 'shopping', I chose this pad and am very glad I did. I fits her perfectly and works GREAT! It's thick enough to provide the protection she needs and is easy to clean. I love the tacky bottom to prevent slipping as well. I'm going to order another for my husband's 2yo. This is not recommended for short-backed horses. Best for long, lanky horses. I would highly recommend this pad!

I love this pad. It is very durable and will not hold sweat. It is also very sticky and seems to be quite comfortable to my horse. If it is a poor fit as the last review said don't bother. If you have to use a blanket under it you defeat the purpose of the tacky-too.

I got his pad for my guys sore back. I love it. He's older and a bit sway back. Fit's him great and I no longer have those dry spot after a long ride. I just wish I had more time to ride so I could see how it holds up to longer use.
I don't think it will fit a shorter backed horse though.

My horse is very comfortable now with her custom made saddle and this pad. She has a long table-top back and low withers. This is a nice big long pad but is too big for my other shorter coupled horses. There should be 2 sizes. Also, I hosed off the bottom and the water soaked into the pad so it was not dry by the next day. Need a recomendation on how to clean the tacky bottom. Otherwise it's a great great pad but may be too long for some horses.
