Wither Relief Saddle Pad

The pad features a hook and loop strap at the gullet, allowing you to manually widen or narrow the opening. This lets you tailor the fit specifically to your horse's wither height, ensuring the pad sits securely without pinching.

At 0.75 inches thick, this pad provides a balanced profile that is substantial enough for shock absorption during regular training sessions without feeling overly bulky or interfering with your close-contact feel.

No, the non-slip design is engineered to prevent the saddle from shifting or rolling, which is actually a primary cause of friction sores. By keeping the saddle stable, it reduces the rubbing that often occurs when a pad slides around.

The wool blend is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps pull sweat away from the horse's back. This promotes better airflow and temperature regulation, keeping your horse cooler during intense work.

While it is specifically engineered for high-withered horses, the contoured spine design and adjustable gullet make it a versatile option for many conformations. However, if your horse has a very flat back, you may find the specialized wither relief unnecessary.

The gel is strategically placed to target pressure points rather than covering the entire surface area, which allows the pad to remain flexible. This ensures the pad can still contour to your horse's movement and shoulder rotation.
