So for my sweet 16, my grandmie said she would buy me a saddle pad. Now I have seen some really good saddle pads around, and don't know what to get. I currently ride a school horse by the name of ace. He is a 14 or 15 year old haflinger gelding, but he used to be a draft horse. He is big, round, and strong, and about 15 to 16hh. I also ride in a wintec 1000 I think it is. I am not sure. I was wondering if yall had any suggestions for a saddle pad. I dont know much, so I came asking yall.

Well, it helps to know if you ride English or western :)
If English, does the horse need a regular pad and a half pad? Do you want a fitted pad?

I ride English, he does not need a half pad, and the saddle pad him, and the saddle. Also the saddles dont fit the horses, the saddles fit the riders.

I suggest what ever fits your saddle ask you instructor otherwise a 32x32 fits all.

That's not what I meant by fitted pad. I meant the kind of saddle pad used in showing. The fleece one shaped like a saddle :) at my barn we use a regular square pad with a fitted pad on top. It provides more cushion for the horse.
