Since I ride with a bareback pad and tend to ride for a long period of time,

of time, but the Equipedic has the perfect compression and temperature control.
Of all the ones I have tried, the Equipedic pad is by far the best for protecting
my horse’s back..

Horseman heads to Texas on EquiPedic saddle pad....
January 14, 2003
Perhaps hoping to appeal to the president horseman to horseman, Lawrence "Doc"
Mishler is riding from Montana to Crawford, Texas, on behalf of starving children
and world peace. After riding 1,500 miles on 2 one inch pads, Doc switched to
an EquiPedic saddle pad. Three days later, Doc called us and said, "This pad
is the ultimate. For the first time in 1,500 miles my horse's back is rising
up into the saddle. I'm only sorry I didn't get one for my pack horse."
We hope to report more on Doc's travels to Crawford, Texas, so check back frequently
to see what he's up to and who he's met along the way.
If you want to talk to Doc directly, email him at: [email protected].
