Apparently some new 'Olympic' saddle pad being shown. I don't usually watch this programme as it's too violent (if you know what I mean!) but think I'll take a look tonight.

Kelly, this is the Limpet saddle pad. Tonight is a repeat, it was on originally a few weeks' ago. Won't give too much away - but a copy of Perfect Confidence may have been useful for the lady making the pitch...!

Oh, I saw it the other week - it's one of those 'limpet' pads. The poor woman who makes them is SO nervous. It's really uncomfortable viewing. ETA crossed posts!

We saw it too - it made me laugh when she said she hadn't marketed it at all - it's been available from Shires for years, as well as some other wholesalers, until they dropped it. I did feel for her though, she didn't go down too well with those AWFUL dragons!

I want one now - only problem is you've got to walk for 15-20 minutes before trotting. Not sure that's possible with a horse with a full clip in an outdoor menage in this weather!

I shall never watch that programme again - it's horrible! Are we being told you have to be a total obnoxious prat to be 'successful' - yuk! I agree it's been marketed for years so that's not the point - I just hate bullies! Going on to 'Look Good Naked Next' (it's telly night!) now that guy is just soooo lovely and understanding .

I've actually got one - had it about a year. Love it. Poor woman made a complete hash of her sales pitch!

She was dreadful. Nervous, unprepared - didn't explain the product at all. And its an ugly product too. I fancy the pants off Peter - phwoar.

Cold shower Smudge....NOW!!! Although imagine the house and yard he could buy.... ;D
I couldn't understand how the woman could not only omit to fully explain the concept, but also stretch the truth. Limpet pads have been around for years. We had them when Rachel was showing in the mid 90's and they were new then.
She said she hadn't advertised in H & H and then said she had, she said she hadn't marketed the product, but Deborah Meadon knew that wasn't true. It was widely available from a number of wholesalers and many saddleries stocked them. Her sales figures can't have been right either - we used to sell 2-3 a week. Unfortunately, the wholesalers stopped stocking them and I heard the reason they stopped marketing the product was due to a court case with (I think) Impakt Pads, who claimed it infringed their patent.
I think that before anyone walks into the Den, they need to make sure they've dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's and don't try to pull the wool over their eyes - they aren't called Dragon's for nothing!!

I know...the horses, the yard... and he would be so busy with all his little projects he wouldn't care how long I took with the horses. And he's sexy - I like that in a man LOL
Were you cringing as much as I was when she couldn't get the sheets of the horse? Arrgh! Get a grip of yerself woman!
Have to admit that Deborah Meaden is a witch though... funny, but she's like the smiling assassin...
