In my experience, I have liked using the wool ecofelt inserts. They are designed to help distribute and eliminate pressure on the back. I feel like the wool ecofelt inserts offer a more natural alternative choice in terms of inserts. The wool ecofelt inserts can also be trimmed as needed.

The wool ecofelt inserts come as full length inserts, front inserts or rear inserts - and they are available in both a quarter-inch and half-inch thickness so that they can be stacked to achieve the optimal depth that you would like in your padding. These inserts are made out of pure wool felt, and I found it interesting that they feel more firm to the touch - though they still have some give to them. In my mind, I equate riding with a wool ecofelt to sleeping on a mattress that is more firm, as opposed to one that is softer or made out of memory foam. When I removed the Wool Ecofelt inserts from the Perfect Balance pad after use, it looks like they started to mold and conform to the shape of my horse’s back. They are certainly different than a traditional insert. When I first learned about these particular inserts, I was lucky enough to have one sitting in front of me so that I could pick it up and check it out. The wool ecofelt inserts were a completely new concept to me. But at the same time, I’ve also liked using a newer and totally different type of insert as well, the Fleeceworks Wool Ecofelt insert. I’ve definitely found that the original memory foam and memory foam lite inserts do indeed both work well with the Therawool Dressage Pad. I look at this as being more budget friendly and a way to save space in my tack room. I like efficiency, so it is great to have two pads designed for totally different uses that can hold the same inserts. Why do I focus on the Perfect Balance Technology? Because all of the inserts that I used in the Modified Jumping Square Pad can also be switched into the Dressage Square Pad for use. But I think that one of my own personal favorite features of the Therawool Dressage Square Pad is that it incorporates Fleeceworks’ Perfect Balance Technology.Īll of the inserts that are part of the system can be switched into any pad with Perfect Balance Technology!

My journey still continues on, as I’ve also been using the Therawool Dressage Square Pad along with some different insert options. I’ve had a very educational journey since I started using the Fleeceworks Therawool Perfect Balance Technology system of pads, as well as all of the inserts. Having tack that works well for them without any impediments is something I want to provide to help them do their jobs better.īack in the spring, I started using the Therawool Modified Jumping Square Pad and a number of memory foam inserts from Fleeceworks. When I’m tacking up one of my horses to go for a ride, properly fitting and comfortable gear is essential. I like the clean and crisp appearance of the Fleeceworks Therawool Dressage Square Pad. (I just tend to overlook the protests of my feet when wearing the killer heels - it’s a cost-benefit ratio kind of thing). I take the stance that how an item performs is equally, if not more so, important than how it looks. While I may choose to make my feet suffer on occasion for the sake of fashion so that I can don a truly spectacular pair of heels, I have to draw the line somewhere.Īnd that particular line is drawn on this side of my riding apparel and gear. I feel like a lot of importance is placed on appearances in our culture here in the US of A.

It was a term that I usually whip out to describe a completely stunning pair of shoes, though I’ve had my fair share of experience with the double-edged meaning of the term.īeauty is more than skin deep. Even though I stand slightly on the tall side at 5’9″, I’m a total sucker for an awesome new pair of heels every now and again. Let’s just say that I no longer wonder how the term “killer heels” started to be used. New shoes can be a totally awesome addition to my wardrobe - or rather, some pairs are until I actually wear them for the first time.
