The contoured design of these pads shapes to the horse's back, provides less saddle roll and helps relieve pressure on the withers. In addition, the coated closed cell foam of the tacky liner helps reduce slippage to keep the saddle in place, provides breathability and is easy to care for. The durable Herculon fabric top is easy-to-clean and quick drying. Shock-absorbing felt insert provides added comfort to the horse.
