Re: Christ Lammfelle bareback pad - anyone used one?
I have a Christ dressage bareback pad. It's made extremely well, super comfortable, and warm when it's cool out. My horse has prominent withers, so I add a regular dressage pad w fleece padding on the underside for added cushioning.
That other one posted on here looks pretty cool also!
