You could do what I was told to do with my western pad, which was to put a navajo under it.
You could get a nice cushy pad and put one of those light weight dressage pads under it. The dressage pad could be run thru the washing machine after each ride, That way the more expensive cushy pad would be the one picking up the dirt/hair. Of course that means you would have 3 pads....:\

I was thinking the same thing... a nice solid new pad, either the fuzzy or a felt one, and a thinner dressage pad, or two, so one was always clean.
That's what I do and it sure helps. I'm amazed at the amount of hair that comes off each ride, even in the summer. I get a lint trap full in the washing machine and then again in the dryer. It keeps the smell down in your regular pad too.
