Great pad!!!
I'd been experiencing saddle slipping issues . . . this pad stays put and keeps the saddle there, as well. I do either need to get a shorter girth or not place the billet straps through the pad keepers. I've experienced some bunching problems. GREAT pad!!

This product works!
My saddle slides forward onto the horse's shoulders despite being fit by the saddle fitter twice (!) and having the tree adjusted. This saddle pad stops almost all movement. It's less expensive than the other brands out there and, as far as I can tell, works just as well.

Best pad for a slipping saddle!
I've been riding this mare for 4 months and tried everything else. A shoulder relief girth, starting with the saddle ridiculously far back, and a variety of nonslip and gel pads. She has a big belly, forward girth groove and narrow shoulders. I was always up on her neck after a few minutes of trot. This is the only thing that worked to keep the saddle in place. Washes well and is good quality. Highly recommend!

Great pad
Works really well but what I was most surprised about was how well it washed up. Also the padding is perfect, just enough but not so much it alters fit of saddle. Makes me feel much more stable. My saddle is custom but as horses change things need adjusting, and this is perfect to use while waiting for it to be fitted again. The non slip material is kind of like what you put under rugs. I got reg size which fits my 18 inch saddle 16.3 wb perfectly. I imagine the large is huge.

Love the size
Haven't had it long enough to test the durability, but the length and width are great in the L size. Love the many loops to choose from to put the billets through to keep the girth in place and the sticky material holds nicely on my horse's back and under the saddle.

Awesome Pad, no slip and cushion!
I love these pads they are simple and smart looking. No slip and no front billet stays. Just the right amount of cushion and easy to clean. I have the dresssge and the AP. I use the BOT/Thinline pad in the winter and this when it starts to get warm. My fussy OTTB approves!

Great Non-Slip Pad
Super pad! Second one I've purchased. My saddle fitter recommended it and it keeps the saddle from creeping onto my VERY sensitive mares shoulders. Worked so good I got a second one for the sensitive lesson pony.
I have also found it works well when a half pad is just a bit too much. It has a pretty long drop, so smaller horses and ponies would do better in the medium.

good option to ecogold saddle pad
I bought this product based on my experience with the EcoGold nonslip dressage pad, which I love. I had planned to use it on my TB but he did not like the nubby rubber feeling on the underside of the pad. The EcoGold has the same nubby rubber but only on the sides. My mare doesn't mind it though, so I use it on her. She's very round with little to no withers, and it works well for her.

NO.SLIP.
I bought this pad because my low- to no-withered QH's jumping saddle was slipping side to side while we were on jump courses....no fun at all. This pad solved the problem completely. Well worth the $. Have only washed it twice, but it held up fine through those 2 washes.

Great non-slip pad
I bought a Success Equestrian saddle pad about 3 months ago, and it's practically the only pad I've used since. Due to my horse's conformation (hollows behind his withers), my saddle has a tendency to slide forward onto his shoulders. A saddle fitter checked my saddle fit and recommended a non-slip pad, so I ordered a Success pad as it is a more affordable option. I've also tried one of the inexpensive, non slip pads that go under a regular saddle pad. That didn't work, but the Success pad stays in place. The regular size fits great under my 17" saddle and it washes well. Often I will hose it off after a ride and hang to dry, and that works well in between washes. Just ordered a second!!

Love this pad. No slip, comfy for him. Only drawback... my cat loved it too! Couldn't resist digging his claws into the underside & ruined it. Two more on order!

Non slip yes, washed nicely...no!
I used it a few times and washed it to get ready for a show. It shrunk and it pilled so I will be returning. :(

Best pad ever
I have used this pad for over a year and it does exactly what I need it to. I have two in black that I have used to show and school in and they have maintained their color. Very easy to wash. I have just bought two in white and I know they will be just as good!!

Solved my problem!
I have had problems with my saddle slipping back. Had a saddle fitter look at it, the fit was fine, and the girth was fine. I tried a rubber non-slip pad, but that didn't work very well - it was okay for a quiet hack, but when we were working the saddle would slip.
This pad solved the problem. The saddle now stays in place. I am happy, and more importantly my mare is happy.

The Best
This is the best dressage pad I have found, and I have tried many. The no slip top and underside keeps your saddle from moving around on the horse's back. The padding along the top is durable and provides a nice cushion. I even show in the pad because I am convinced it makes my horse's back happy. It is also durable, and work the price, in my opinion. Just remember: No bleach!

Excellent Quality!
I didn't really know what to expect when I purchase this saddle pad, but was pleasantly surprised with the quality when I opened the box. Of course, the proof in the pudding is the performance, and I have found the pad to be fantastic for saddle stability on my high withered gelding. I like the extra padding but don't find that it is enough to really affect saddle fit. Another great feature is the design of the billet straps at the bottom of the pad, as the individual slots help stabilize as well. Overall, it is a great, well-designed pad, and an excellent value for the money.

Wonderful Pad!
This pad is taking me to a new level in my riding. My horse loves it too! I feel so secure and stable as there is no slip, no movement and my one foot doesn't slip out of the stirrup any more. Didn't know that a pad could help all that. Our communication is better and when I take it off the sweat is even. Ordered in black for every day now I'm ordering in white as I won't show without it!.

Really works
I purchased this pad a couple of weeks ago and have been very pleased with it. I have a 16 hand ROUND backed Arabian and this pad really keeps me in the middle. I also really like the padding so I don't have to use a half pad. I hate the stacked up feeling I get on this horse with a half pad. Now my horse gets the padding he needs and I feel confident in the saddle. I got the large size which is very generous which I needed. I have a 19" all purpose that I use for dressage and this dressage pad works well with the saddle.

Really works !!!
I am really happy with this saddle pad. My young Swedish Warmblood Mare is only 4 and doesn't have a very pronounced wither. I had tried a few other "nonslip" pads but this is the first one that has really lived up to its name.

Extra Cushion Interferes
This pad comes with its own half pad built in. It's much like memory foam. I prefer my own half pad and sometimes I don't want to use a half pad. This saddle pad gives you no versatility. I had to return it.

Really is NO slip
My Morgan mare is very sensitive and keeping her dressage saddle where it should be was difficult. It slid forward and/or sideways with other pads. With this one, she moves more freely, saddle stays put, and the upward curve over the pommel area keeps the pad from pressing on her withers. One bad aspect: had to cut off a 6"X8" section at the rear lower corner of each side of the pad (then restich the trim) because this excess flapped around and distracted her.

works great on my hoop tree horse
I've had this pad for almost a year now. I own more than a dozen saddle pads, many of them pricey, but this is my go-to pad for schooling and shows. Even though my saddles are custom fitted, it can be tricky to keep them from slipping on my "hoop tree" horse. I never had the slightest slip problem when I use the Success pad. It has also held up well, showing no wear after a year, even though I am a fanatic about washing pads. It doesn't look unusual either, since most of the sticky stuff is under the saddle. I'm ordering several more for show season for both my dressage and jumping saddles. I guess I'll just give away my others since I'm simply not using them anymore.

Perfect for a horse with no withers!
My standardbred gelding has absolutely no withers. Saddles have a tendency to feel like you're riding on a yoga ball, but this pad totally changed everything. My saddle stays put and seems to be more comfortable for him. The large size is perfect for my 18" dressage saddle.

Great pad, great company!
After working with an FEI rider who only rode in Success pads, I was able to get one for myself, and have seen an incredible difference! I don't want to ride in any other pads now. First of all, I can tell you that they hold up great. We washed them DAILY, after every ride, and they were years old and looked perfect. My saddles stay put, on my super-hard-to-fit Percheron, and on my wider-than-he-should-be WelshX, both of whom hate tight girths, but have always had saddle slip problems. I love the billet keepers on this saddle - I've found the middle and last ones to be the best for keeping a girth back from a forward girth groove. They're big pads, but I like the extra room. The company is great to deal with, too! Bill is very nice and they have great customer service. Overall, I'd say get this pad, you will NOT be dissappointed!

Not one millimeter
I bought this for Raj's 1st show. We needed a white dressage pad that was large enough for the ThinLine. His last pads slipped around, even though we tried 2 different saddles, with and without the ThinLine, and with a tighter girth. Well, this new pad did not slip one millimeter! It was cushiony, worked great with the ThinLine, and the girth was a comfortable snugness without being overly tight. It did not seem to cause any rubbing, but we only used it for 2 classes. And, it washed up well. I will update later with any new observations.

Better than Barnsby Grip Pad
My horse's girth pocket is far forward of where the saddle fits best. I use an anatomical girth to help with that, and I was using the Barnsby Grip Pad for over two years to pretty good effect. I saw this new offering and decided to try it out. It definitely holds the saddle in place better...there is much more grippy stuff on the horse side...and I like that there is a little padding in the seat area. It's not as "pretty" as the Barnsby, but pretty is as pretty does, and this just works better. I started with he large, but the medium looks and fits better.
