Schneiders® Dura-Tech® V-Free® Dressage Pad

Room Over the Wither, Cut for a Bigger Horse

A standard dressage pad presses on a prominent wither and runs short on a warmblood's back. This pad's V-Free® wither design gives the wither generous room, its spine and drop are cut for warmbloods and heavier-muscled horses, and divided billet straps keep it from shifting.
1
Generous Room Over the Wither
The V-Free® wither design gives your horse's wither generous relief, so the pad sits up off it and helps prevent irritation.
2
Sized for Warmbloods and Heavier-Muscled Horses
A 25-inch spine, 21-inch drop and 25 1/2-inch width, cut for the bigger-bodied dressage horse a standard pad runs short on.
Room Over the Wither, Cut for a Bigger Horse feature callout diagram

4
Cotton Against the Coat
A 100% cotton outer with a brushed cotton lining, and it can be personalized with monogramming or embroidery.

★★★★★
Easy to use, easy to clean and fits horse and saddle correctly

★★★★★
The pad has a comfortable cotton lining and is designed with nice wither relief. The spine is slighty longer than most pads and fits my saddle well. The unique four straps on the bottom sides of the pad allow for more billet strap options.

★★★★★
I absolutely LOVE this saddle pad! So much, in fact, that I've ordered two more! They are very good quality and the perfect fit for my Warmblood. They don't shift or move and wash-up beautifully!
