Intrepid International Comfort Plus Western Bareback Pad

Most comfortable and soft bare back pad

I just tried it out and I'm honestly amazed! You almost get the feeling of riding bareback (you can still feel the back moving underneath and your position is the same as riding bareback), plus you're quite protected in the withers area and you feel totally secure, you won't slide off even at a fast trot or canter! It's really comfortable and padded in the right spots. I think the only flaws are the girth straps, which are rather rough so I'll pad them a bit (the girth itself is great, though). Also, don't worry about horse size, this can fit every horse from pony to shire!

Super comfortable for myself and my high withered OTTB.

I love this! It's super comfortable with great grip; it can be a little hot in the summer, but it's worth it. My horse has quite the shark fin and is extremely uncomfortable to ride bareback, but this makes it just a little more bearable

Per my daughter: Very comfortable. Good deal for the price. Doesn't rub anywhere.However, if you have a white or grey horse, upon first use it will stain the fur blue. The discoloration came off rather easily. Also, it does grab/hold a lot of hair. Girth is subpar - wound up using a different one.

its awesome except I worry that the girth strap that came with it might be uncomfortable for my sensitive foster mare. The bottom part of it has nice cushion but some of it is very thin straps and I worry that these could dig into her. I may consider adding more padding to it myself or looking to buy a more comfortable girth strap.
