Under pads

Question
In a "Speed" jumpers class, can I use a thin, white western blanket (I would fold it small) for a under pad? Or do I need a real under pad for show?

Answer
Holly, Instead of a western pad, why don't you try a thin white quilted square english pad?  Like a thin dressage pad.  Because if you get a thin western pad and fold it, it will just be thicker.  I could help you a little better if you could tell me what you want the purpose of this pad to be, and what level show you are attending?  Local or rated?
Looking forward to hearing back from you, so I could give you more complete advice.
