Christ sheepskin saddle pads

I love these. I have black, white, cream, brown (not blue ... yet!) They would be perfect if they were slightly (2.5 cm or 1 inch) longer for my Passier billet straps. In terms of utility, I have been amazed that sheepskin saddle pads are, well, so practical. They do not get soaked through. I used the same one for a 3 day clinic on the weekend. They do not need laundering very often. Then, wash (Q7 or MELP or Leather Therapy), dry (at "low") in the dryer - and they are virtually new again. They are durable. The horses like them. I have found a US supplier who is responsive, as I understand there is currently no Canadian distributor (I also obtained some lovely sheepskin bridle chin guards, also manufactured by Christ) - anyone else a fan?

YES!
I've bought some shaped pads through the link below.

And they're occasionally available on tackdealz.com (a shop in St. Thomas ON)

I do however own the Christ sheepskin pad for the Christ sheepskin bareback pad. Sold the bareback pad, kept the other one...
