I had a saddle fitter out to do tracings for my horse when looking for a saddle. The saddle that fit him best was just a " little" wide but otherwise was perfect. I rode in that saddle for a year and he did ok but at times was balky and irritable. I knew it was because of the width and while we had good wither clearance and sweat pattern I was bothered by his discomfort even if it was only occasional.I had seen this pad but because of the price I was afraid to buy it and have it make no difference! Well I saved up and purchased the pad and with the first ride I had a different horse.It had the saddle sitting level and no more popping up in the back. No more balking and he moved forward immediately & willingly when I ask. I wish I had bought it a year ago!Well made and I love how the area where the cinch lies is cut out so not only do you know where to position it, it is not bulky and no slipping at all. Great pad.

Bought this pad for a client’s horse with high withers and a poor top line. The padding is in all the right places and it fits great! I love the cool logo on the side of the pad as well. Great, quality pad at a reasonable price!

This saddle pad changed everything for my horse and my self, my saddle sits so much better, be walks free, I don't feel like the saddle is pinching him anymore, great pad. It cleans out very nice and seems to be very durable.

Liked everything about the saddle pad until it broke at the withers 3 months ago.

I do not usually leave reviews and I am not sure this will even be a complete review of the OrthoRide but this has made such a difference, I honestly had just wanted to tell people. I have been riding since I was a little girl and now that I am, well never mind, I think I have tried doing just about every event you can think of with a horse. I have gone through periods of buying the latest and greatest tack for each horse etc. Now a-days I know what works and I stick with it pretty much. But if I learned anything it is that each horse is built different and I use different tools for the job. But saddles are just flipin expensive and honestly I want to be comfortable myself when I ride so there are really only two saddles that I have been using 90% of the time. They fit better on some horses then they do on others. WELL my favorite horse paid the price, I noticed that she was getting white hair spots at her withers. If you don’t know that is caused by poor fitting saddles digging into the horses’ shoulders with the saddle bars. This is a flashing red light that your saddle doesn’t fit and hasn’t for a while.I started saddle shopping and planned on writing a good check with several 0’s to get a comfy saddle that wasn’t going to take a year to break-in like the one I love now. I had read something in a magazine about the OrthoRide saddle pad and that it was for poor fitting saddles. So I found it for less here on Amazon and tried it, as I knew I could return it if it didn’t work.So I guess this is finally the review part. You know it seems to do exactly what it says. It fills in the gap under the saddle bars and raises the saddle up level. There is this bump of padding right where the saddle bars were making contact on my girl. She seems to be more comfortable, no she didn’t tell me but I can tell be the way she carries me that she is lighter in her movement.Update: I have had many rides with this pad and it has definitely made a difference. The pad looks like new still and is easy to clean. My girlfriend bought one and uses it all the time also. I would try this before changing saddles. Unless money is no object.

Great on our young Arabs!My wife and I raise Arabs in Nevada. Many of our younger horses do not have fully developed wither muscles so it is important that we start them slowly and do not put too much pressure on their developing muscles and ligaments. We find the Orthoride is a perfect pad for these horses. The pad is light and flexes with the horses’ movement. We especially like the wither bump as it keeps the saddle balanced on the younger horses which is extremely important when starting a horse under saddle. This pad has become part of our riding/training program and we use it on most of our horses young and old to be honest.Worth noting, we also find these pads are great for endurance riding as they are light and again give extra cushion keeping the saddle from sliding forward when going down hills. We have several and find now faults. They are good looking, high quality & a very well made.
