I had planned on using isocord. The part with the seams will be directly under the saddle. The sandwich will be as follows pieced top, then a thick layer of batting, then a 1" thick piece of foam, then another thick layer of batting, then the wool backing. This will be a show pad only and not normally used for general riding. If there is a concern on irritation a thinner blanket can be placed under it.
