This pad tents nicely under my saddle
"This is the only pad that “tents” under my saddle and stays “tented”the entire ride. My high withered hunt seat horse thanks you!"
This Western correction saddle pad is specially designed to cater to horses with muscle atrophy behind the shoulder, providing them with the necessary support and preventing the front end of the saddle from collapsing in the shoulder area. The strategically placed wedge fills the void area, offering extra support, especially for horses with diminishing top lines or those with very high withers. It is made from a top-quality wool blend and provides superior shock absorption and protection. Its contoured design perfectly molds to your horse's back, optimizing saddle fit and ensuring a comfortable ride every time.

"This is the only pad that “tents” under my saddle and stays “tented”the entire ride. My high withered hunt seat horse thanks you!"
"Very functional and comfortable pads. My horse is 17 years old and has been losing weight in her shoulder muscles. Her front legs are much more flexible now that the weight on her shoulders is reduced. My friend's horse has the same problem and we ordered the same pads!"
"Quality item. Works well."
"This pad has made a huge difference in the way my 17-year Quarter horse mare moves. She is more comfortable and I am more comfortable so our rides are so much more enjoyable!"
"Ordered this for my older gelding to help the saddle position better behind his shoulders and offer additional wither relief."
"I purchased this pad because my horse is 26 yrs old and in moderate work. It is important to me that he is comfortable. He has very high withers with a slight loss of muscle along his topline. When I received the pad and put it on him, the shape of the pad is the exact shape of his spine from his withers to his mid back where the pad and saddle end. This pad fits him like it was patterned and made specifically to fit him. I love the extra padding in the shoulder area. He was ridden for 51/2 hours using this pad without the slightest hit of discomfort. I am 100% satisfied with the fit and apparent comfort this pad provides for my horse."
"I've used the pad twice in the arena and on the trail. Works great and I don't need to use shims. My guy has high withers with a dip behind them. . . this pad does the trick."
"It was a great pad but I had to return since I ordered a wrong size. My purchase was refunded no problem"
"I was hesitant to order another pad for my hard to fit mustang, but this pad fits all 3 of them"
"Worked exactly as stated. My gelding is very sensitive and had no issues."
