LIMPET SADDLE PAD – I have found a saddle pad that really does not slip and conforms to my horses back! It really works! It is a very lightweight pad that is made of open cell foam which virtually eliminates the forward and lateral movement in a pad. Once it has heated up to the horses back, it forms a mold and just doesn’t move ! It can be hosed off easily. Keeps the back cool by letting sweat roll out from underneath the pad. It comes in 4 colors and so far, it is the best pad I have used. This pad used under the El Companero bareback pad makes a combination that is unbeatable!

SADDLE BAG – In trying all kinds of different types and styles of saddle bags, I really like the idea of a pommel bag, that keeps all your items in front of you. But since I ride quite a long time, it seems that the items I need to take has increased so I needed to reevaluate my saddle bag system! Now, I use the saddle bags (fit in the back) made by El Companero, all leather, Velcro closure and both sides are deep enough to carry the things I need, like a saw, clippers, first aid kit, thermos, etc. This allows me to have a smaller pommel bag in the front, for carrots and the important stuff, like FOOD! They fit perfectly on the back of my pad (they fit well on a saddle as well) and do not move around or fly up. They come in 4 colors and will last a lifetime and are gorgeous to boot!
