Product Review: Ecogold’s Matte Flip Half Pad

Flip Half Pad Matte by Ecogold

It’s no surprise that we’re big fans of Ecogold in this corner of the horse world. Personally, I’m the owner of three well-loved and hard working Ecogold pads. The newest to my collection is honestly the most drool-worthy, though.

When Ecogold announced it was launching a new, ethically manufactured, vegan saddle pad, my interest piqued. It’s more important to me now than ever before to support companies which are passionate about the same values I have. Sustainability is high on that list. Ecogold’s longstanding commitment to ethical standards has always been one of the many reasons why I want to support this company. And their newest pad – the Ecogold Matte Flip Half Pad – just takes that commitment to the next level.

The Matte pad comes with all the same qualities I already love in my Flip Half Pad and more.

This half pad is made with Premium High Resilience Foam, which adds a layer of protection to my horse’s back that is just unparralleled with any other product on the market. It’s shimmable and comes with removable inserts. It has a strategic air vent along the spine to promote air circulation while riding. And its non-slip surface material keeps it in place, safe and secure.

What makes the Matte pad stand out is its sleek finishes. The Matt Flip Half Pad comes in a variety of gorgeous shades: Havana, Mocha, Navy or Black. On the “flip” side, you can choose white or black. These colors are true matte, in that they are without a notable shine. The earthy tones offer a really polished, upscale finish to my overall turnout, in my opinion.

I opted for the Havana pad, because I like the contrast it offered with my more mocha-colored jump saddle, girth and bridle and my horse’s shiny, copper chestnut coat. I’ve gotten compliments every time I’ve ridden in this pad, and I haven’t even been able to show it off where it matters most yet – the show ring!

The Ecogold Matte Flip Half Pad makes me feel like 100 bucks – I feel safe and secure in my seat. I know this pad is working hard to keep my horse feeling his best while performing. And the new color adds just a pop of flair and style.
