HAF pad with FreeForm

Heh Chris - just wanted to give some feedback on the HAF pad. As you know, I'm sort of opinionated (for better or worse). Tally popped an abscess this past Tuesday before the Warner Hot Springs Ride so I stole my best buddies horse (now how's that for a 'friend') and took him instead. Just to let you know, cold turkey - so to speak - I rode him in my FreeForm as well as the HAF pad. We took it easy on the last loop (he doesn't like heading back out without a buddy horse and there was no one in sight) and still finished 12th. Great scores on the final vet check - including NO TENDERNESS on his back. How's that for trying out a new saddle and pad for the first time on a 50 miler! Great ride - thanks again Terry - and great saddle/pad combo. Best part was Dick Carter (my buddy) was over my house first thing this morning 'double checking'. He said he just wanted to make sure his horse 'hadn't killed me' but the first thing he did was check out his back - he was 100%!!! :+D Just thought I'd let you know how it went!!
