Saddle Flocked
Why is wool flocking better then felt/foam?
If felt and foam are useless flocking material why are saddles made using them. is there any upsides (other than a much cheaper price tag) to foam over wool?
looked at several used saddles today (a new one is completely out of the question) leather saddle with felt/foam padding at $300 in excellent condition.
synthetic, wool flocked saddle in excellent condition at $750.
Although I don't have direct experience, I have been told by experienced saddlers that wool will pack and settle, forming to your horse's back to make that 'perfect fit' over time.
Foam will compact, but doesn't shift and settle, so you don't really get a saddle that conforms to your horse's back with foam.
However, the flip side of that is if you catch ride, you don't really want a wool saddle that fits one horse and therefore pinches another horse. Foam might in fact make a better saddle for multiple horses.
