– Chamious
4) Navajo Pads
– Western saddles only
5) Sheepskin Pads
– Second best pad in the world (first deer skin)
– Good circulation
– Hair against hair
6) Filler/Shim Pads
– Filler can move in pad
– Filler should be glued/velcro to the saddle
7) Gel Pads
– Works well in cotton saddle pad left and right side separate
– In one pad puts a massive strain on spine
– No thicker than quarter a inch

– Good pad if left and right side separate
