great product, shipping was slow
Our horse seems to love this pad. He is much more perky. The saddle had been rubbing on him before and different blankets/pads did not seem to work.

Saddle pad in very comfortable.
Very fast delivery. I ordered it on a Tuesday and it was received in less than a week. This pad is very comfortable for me in the saddle, no slipping. Very durable so far and I have been using it for the last month. It is a good looking pad too, I like the wear leathers on the side.

AMAZING!!!!!!!
I have had mine for about 6 years now, it looks worn but not too bad and the only reason I need a new one is because my horses have high withers and the gel on the withers has worn down but it stil works great! I love love love this pad and I am never getting a different brand ever again! it is heavy but that's no big deal. 100% recommend it. the felt where my saddle goes has balled up and is a little worn but it still works the same just looks worn but that is bound to happen to any pad. im so obsessed with impact gel and I strongly advise everybody to get one! my pad has the tacky bottom and somedays I forget to tighten my girth and one day my girth was hanging half a foot off of my horse and we were loping around and my saddle and pad never moved a inch!

Great Pad
This is the only pad I have found that works for my hard to fit horse.Finally an even sweat pattern!

Pad doesn't hold up well over time!
I have had this pad for a little over a year now and I am very disappointed! I trail ride on average once a week and this pad looks beat up. The material is all balled up and looks way older then it is. I take extremely good care of all my tack and store it indoors. So the quality of the material is just plain lacking. The only good thing about this pad is that is dose for well to the horse.

Very Nice
All I can say is my horse seemed very comfortable on our ride and if she's good I'm good. It fit her perfectly.

My mare seems to like it!
It may have just been a coincidence, but my young barrel racing mare ran in the 1D the first time we ran in competition with this pad. She's been running in the 3D for the past few months...

quality pad!
the impact gel is a really cool feature! conforms to any horses back and there's no dry spots.
December 6, 2013
Very well made
It's made in the USA! Well made, I will add. Nice leather wear pads and leather strip down the center. The pad is made so that each side is separate and joined at the top, which allows freedom of movement for the horse. The gel conformed to my mare's back and the sweat under the saddle pad was full...no dry spots. The stitchin' is straight and there are cut aways for the withers and your riggin'. I expect this pad to last a long long time.

holds up well after 1.5 years of frequent riding. Provides just enough padding for my gelding with narrow withers

I havr been extremely pleased with this pad. Durable, easy to clean, and seems comfortable for all my horses. I will continue buying these pads.
HAZEL K on Oct 31, 2014
Highly recommended in video on saddle fitting that I was viewing. The attendtion to details that would result in my horse being more comfortable under saddle was important to me.
Deborah S on Oct 18, 2014
I want a good saddle pad for my young horse, of all the things I can mess up on, I don't want his back to be a problem.
CAROL Z on Sep 13, 2014
My mare had white spots from rubbing with her old pad. Since using this pad the spots have disappeared and she is much more comfortable.
PAULA H on Sep 8, 2014
I have used Impact Gel pads on my horses for years and love them. One horse was always "ouchy" under saddle until I put the impact gel pad on her. These pads last a long time. I'm only buying a new one 'cause my puppy chewed one up that I accidentally left where she could get at it.

I have a young horse with small withers now. Saddle is coming down on her neck. Keep having to stop and set saddle of her neck after going down a hill. does any one know if a saddle pad would help this problem ?
Shirlene O on Oct 21, 2014
BEST ANSWER: Your best bet is to buy a saddle that fits. But you can try a whither shim pad, you can buy a cheap set for under $20 on horse.com. they go on top of regular pad under the saddle. Keeps saddle off the neck, but worth trying for hills.
LDXT, XT, DMXT what's the difference?

is this pad wool on the bottom? I really don't want it to be anything but wool bottom
cc c on Jun 22, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Yes this pad is wool felt on the bottom as it is on the top with the gel in between. I have decided these pads are very heavy.
What is the weight of this pad?
A shopper on Mar 24, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Impact Gel advises us that this pad weighs approximately 7 lbs.

I have a 10 year old Full Arabian Mare. I ride trails in Arizona. What gel pad would be the best to use in the warm temps.?
Karen D on Apr 20, 2014

I bought the impact gel pad for trail riding. My horse is young and has high withers. I have only had it a few months, but I am very satisfied with it. Haven't been on trails yet, but it fits him well .
