I bought the first LittleJoe 4 years ago. I love love love this LittleJoe! I am 56 years old and riding Tennessee Walkers in this pad. Great comfort, I stick to the pad like super glue. I feel much safer on this pad than any saddle!
We ride huge desert mountains, very rough country for miles, sometimes over 20 miles in this pad, 3-4 hours, and hop off feeling great! My horses definitely prefer these pads; I can tell by how good they are moving under me. My boys are about 1400 lbs each and about 16.2 hands, big by Tennessee standards! I can get them to gait steady for a few miles in this pad, and I believe it helps them keep their groove and a steady rack going. Smooth as butter ride. Great for older folks like my husband and me in our mid to late 50’s.
Thanks again! I will be teaching my niece on a LittleJoe.
