Shires Gel-Eze Non-Slip Saddle Pad

On my round-barreled Percheron, my saddle went from slipping 4-8" to not slipping at all. Now I can get on without someone holding the off stirrup. I need to rinse it at least every other ride.

First one didn't stay under saddle, so sent it back (they said they never had any problems). Second one disintegrated after 3 rides. hUGE waste of money.

Was disappointed in the actual appearance after receiving. It really was not what I expected after reading the good reviews and what it was suppose to accomplish.It was so sticky you could not put it on anything except a towel or similar item. It was not near as big as I assumed and it was very difficult to handle,Many reviews were positive so I guess it was what they were looking for but it obviously did not meet my criteria. I needed a non-slip gel pad that distributed weight evenly under saddle. This did not fulfill my needs. Again, it horrible to try handling and way overpriced for what you get that is my opinion.

We have a mare with a round back. No withers to help hold the saddle. We place this pad on our horse's back and the saddle on top. No other pad is used. We have used it for over a month and love it. The saddle stays tight. We even use it to show. When placed properly it cannot be seen.

Durability: 5

I purchased this pad to use on my Icelandic horse. She has almost no withers. The pad is very grippy and my saddle does not slip at all when I use it.
