They're just awesome and really help my horses!<br /><br />I have ridden w/a Tod Slone pad a couple times, but my favorite pads are CSI pads. We love them so much we became dealers. They really stay put and free up our horses through the shoulders. I've had no back or loin problems since I started using them. I hope that the Tod Slone does that for your horses! :-)<br /><br />Yay for new tack!~The South Dakota Cowgirl~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01041226008516278509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-59292326468254780622011-01-11T13:37:47.872-07:002011-01-11T13:37:47.872-07:00Thanks!

My pocket book cannot handle outfitting the whole crew. The only thing I have done for a long time is make sure I have enough cinches for each horse. I do not like sharing cinches-particularly in the summer. Besides the bacteria factor, I'm pretty sure getting cinched up with someone else's sweaty, wet cinch can't feel all that great.<br /><br />OS-I found them in the Smith Brother's catalog. SB also has an online catalog...<br /><br />http://www.smithbrothers.com<br /><br />Smith Brothers also has a 100% wool pad that I thought about ordering to try. They are about 1/2 the cost of the Tod Sloan and I believe they make quality items. Maybe won't last as long as the TS, but it depends on how much you ride.<br /><br />I hear 5 Star also makes a very nice wool pad that is guaranteed for 2000 hours.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-90691088237642287492011-01-09T18:27:48.436-07:002011-01-09T18:27:48.436-07:00Ed has a 3/4 wool pad and a 1" pad for $120 &...Ed has a 3/4 wool pad and a 1" pad for $120 & $130 each, which is less than we pay here for the Pro Choice pads (at between $175 and $200) Ed suggests having seperate pads for each horse as they conform to the horse after about 10 rides. (I have few enough horses that everyone has their own pad anyway)<br /><br />Here's the link to Ed's tack for sale page: http://www.edandmartha.com/bitsnew2.htm<br /><br />Collar, well I'd really like something "Westerny" so I'm thinking leather with little conchos of some sort. NOT hearts lol (which is what my friend's dog Crash's collar has but it suits her) I'm thinking regular round conchos or cross ones.

I think I paid $150 for it, which to me was a lot...but, it was sooo worth it! It's the only pad I've used since then and it still looks almost brand new (except for the chew mark Ladde put in it-grr). Don't know how much the one you're looking at is, but the Cameron pads can be bought on line, and they're very, very well made. Worth every penny!!

Rufus is so short-backed pads just don't conform right. Sunny's the same way, but I use a wool liner and Cashel pad on top with him. It's a bit long, but malleable enough not to bother.
