Like the design, not the workmanship.
The functionality is what I wanted, but the girth strap failed after only 3 rides.

Easy spur rub protection
I like it, and use this every day. My horse has very sensitive skin, so this keeps him from getting visible marks.

Gets the job done
Horse had a rub and with the use of this pad the rub is getting better. Great coverage. Sometimes it's hard to get the pad to lay perfectly flat. I like how removable the sides are. My horse is not bothered by the Velcro at all. Totally better than investing in a belly band as he only needed the coverage for a short time. Enough length for my 17.5 inch hunt seat cwd

Did the trick!
My horse was getting really bad rubs from my boots and spurs to the point where all the hair had been rubbed off. I've been using this pad for a few weeks now and all the hair has grown back in! The pad does get a little bulky, but I just pull it down before I tighten the girth all the way. I like that the flaps are removable so that you can continue to use the pad after the flaps have done the trick. This is a much less expensive option than some of the other belly bands on the market.

Affordable answer
Seems like an affordable alternative to the more expensive belly bands. The soft cotton also promotes healing of the spur marks where the more abrasive material of the belly band did not.

I purchased this pad to help prevent sour marks. Great concept but it doesn’t really fit Dressage Saddles well, the girth billet is too forward, if it could be set back a bit it would help keep the pad from bunching. It does the job . I would recommend this product as a short term fix. If the billets for the hurt could be re.- engineered it would be very helpful.

Just what I needed!
I couldn't find this saddle pad in other catalogs, but SmartPak had the pad I needed to prevent my spurs from leaving rubmarks on my horse's ribs. My horse loves his new pad!

Does the Job
I bought this saddle pad because my guy started to get a spur rub on his right side. I will say it does look a little silly using it BUT it does do what it is suppose to do. His spur rub is just about gone after treating it with MTG and using this pad after 2 weeks . If you looking for a quick fix and not spending a fortune then I would recommend this. I do like the fact that you can take the side flaps off so I can use it as a normal saddle pad and not look so silly.

Good quality, Good price!
Has helped the rubs my guy gets every spring clear up, nice quality, especially for the price! the velcro is quite good, no issues there. Like some of the other reviews, I did find that the bottom portion tends to bunch up, but it hasn't caused any serious issues, I just adjust as needed from in the saddle. You just have to use all the keepers and it stays decently. Nice size pad ( I have a 17 1/2", fits great). I will probably use as needed and keep in good shape till next spring.

Was not what I was hoping for. Area for the spur guard was too wide and seemed to interfere with the movement of the horse
