ECP Equine Comfort Products Correction Half Saddle Pad, Sea Blue Turquoise

Exactly as described. Good value - makesmy saddle more comfortable for my horse

Easy to adjust shims and excellent fit

I have a new mare who has been out of work for a bit, and until she develops her muscle fully, this pad can make certain the saddle fits well, as well as being able to easily shift where adjustments may be needed as she muscles up, or it can be used to help one saddle fit horses of somewhat different conformation. The padding is not super thick so adjustments can be subtle, but can be doubled where more is needed

I was stuck between getting one of the expensive sheepskin half pads with shims or this one, glad I bought this one!!! It's nice and soft and flexible on the half pad itself. The shims are easy to change and adjust or add your own if you really wanted to, but the memory foam is a good quality and looks like it should hold up for a while. The pad itself is shaped well for a dressage or jumping saddle, is great quality, good looking, doesn't overheat their backs, and I'm really impressed for the price. My young horse is growing rapidly and this is working perfectly to give him a little extra padding and cushion!

I love this pad! It has really helped with saddle fit . I love that it's washable (and I wash it a lot), and was so much less than the cost of similar pads made by bigger name brands. The only problems is the shims compress quite a bit with regular use. All the shims ended up compressing to a fraction of their original thickness after a couple months of regular use. Replacement shims did the same and I ended up making my own replacements.

My saddle fitter suggested I buy a shimmable half pad and add the shims to the back to help the saddle fit on my QH mare. The shims that this comes with are thin pieces of foam. The fitter removed these and replaced them with thicker yoga mat that she cut to shape. Now the padding is much better, and my horse is more comfortable. I use it on my Perch gelding sometimes, too.

This pad is great- but worthwhile for the durable cotton shell only. The "memory foam" inserts are worthless and compress down to nothing even just between your finger and thumb. I love the shell though, and was able to cut to fit my own inserts from a yoga mat! This was the best decision ever, as now there is really solid shock absorption, I still get the correction pad effects, it frees the wither, and the horse I ride shows no dry marks or rubs after our rides. Buy this pad, take the time and initiative, and you will have the perfect correction pad!

The shims are literal pieces of foam. Not memory foam type foam. But actual foam. They are cut in weird shapes and packed in there. I absolutely love my Fleeceworks and thinline shim-able pads but was looking for something less expensive for my young horse. This pad is great... but Ill be purchasing the thineline shims to insert into it because the ones it comes with are garbage.

The foam shims flattened once I was in the saddle and made the half pad slip. I made shims from a yoga mat and those work much better. My ottb lifts and moves under himself more with this pad vs a sheepskin (he has a well muscled shoulder that doesn't need the extra padding but lacks topline on the back where we end up using multiple shims. Nice quality pad but reccomend using different shims.

I really liked this pad. by far the cheapest setup with shims. I thought "awesome custom shimmable pad for under $100? how can I go wrong?" and the quality has held up well too. But now that I'm back to riding with a trainer she tossed it out. Because once the shims are in there is a one inch gap between them along your horse's back. That's NOT good. some horses will put up with it to be sure, and I suppose it's better than nothing when you are dealing with a bad fit. But be aware that it is not going to provide even pressure along your horse's back. Now if they made this same pad with a full length shim I'd be a very very happy rider. because the price is right and the pad is really nice otherwise!
