Excellent for correcting issues with Saddle fit - muscular asymmetry

"I love this shim half pad for fixing up small saddle fit issues. I don't have a tack room full of dressage saddles, so if the two I do have don't fit, but they're close, this pad is the golden ticket, Charlie Bucket! The other wonderful way you can use this shim pad is by filling in where you have muscle asymmetry or atrophy. For example: I have a gelding who had kissing spines surgery and after the physical therapy, his back looked extraordinary! When he went back into regular ridden work, he had some compensatory patterns and remembered pain, and he changed his strides. He developed a hollow place behind his right shoulder and this shim pad was wonderful for supporting him while he learned that his pain wasn't coming back! My only complaint is the lack of breathability, but I am willing to take the trade given the results!"

Beautiful pad and packaging. I

"Beautiful pad and packaging. I bought this for a swayback older horse and she seems happy with it. I was most interested in the seperate middle shims to avoid bridging with the saddle. I wish they were a little bit wider and I may end up cutting the seam between the back panel and midde. Overall beautiful pad at a decent price and would buy again."

Very happy with how this

"Very happy with how this pad works and cushions the saddle on my older horse that has lost her top line."

Patricia M. (5/5)

Great for high withers

"I have used a lot of half pads and this is one of my favorites. My horse has a shark fin wither and the deep cut away wither allows the pad to sit where it needs to on the sides without creating top pressure on the wither. It also allows me to pull up the saddle pad underneath so it also does not apply pressure. Even when other pads are contoured for wither relief, they do not give quite enough clearance. The shims in this pad are just a bonus."

I would buyvagain

"Great for our long/high weathered saddle sensitive gelding. With the multi choices for shims, we were able to get a saddle to work while we waited on a new one. This was the only pad that made him happy and kept saddle from sliding down and hindering his range of motion in the shoulder."

Anna (5/5)

Love this half pad!

"Great product! I love the three different thicknesses of inserts. I'm able to use the ones I need to make my horse more comfortable."

Kayla (5/5)

Shimmed half pad

"Perfect for my mutton withered, big shouldered mare! Helps level my saddle out so that I'm not riding in the back seat!"

Cheri (5/5)

Good Choice for a Shim Half Pad

"Excellent quality at a reasonable price. Great customer service, too."

Patricia (5/5)

Recommend for anyone needed help shimming

"This product has really helped with a less than perfect saddle fit. Easy to use, and versatile. The only thing I don't like is the color. White is not practical for everyday use"
