Our pure wool felt saddle pads are designed for our saddles; they are the right thickness, length and width.
– Thickness is 1/2 inch, cut to match the shape of the saddle skirts, and 4 inches longer than your finished saddle.
– The slot along the spine allows the pad to self-contour to the horse and eliminate bunching/bulk in the channel. It also allows maximum venting of heat.
– They are non-binding over the withers, have reinforced gussets, and wear leathers.
– Cutouts under the leg eliminate bulk and allow the latigo layers to hang below the edge of the pad, eliminating pressure points.
– The felt is the highest quality rated pure wool felt available and is made with heat and pressure. The qualities of wool allow it to remove heat by wicking away sweat thus cooling your horse and protecting against pressure points on his back. With proper care, it will maintain this strength and quality for many hours of riding time.
