Performance Meets Precision: The ARMA Elegance 2.0 Jump PadNothing ruins a solid jumping session like a sweaty, slipping pad that causes friction under the saddle. The ARMA Elegance 2.0 Jump Pad by Shires is engineered to tackle that heat head-on, keeping your horse cool and comfortable from the first warm-up fence to the final oxer. With its sleek, smooth-texture finish and professional metal ARMA badge, it’s a piece of gear that looks as good in the show ring as it performs during daily schooling.Designed specifically for the forward-cut of a jump saddle, this pad focuses on stability and airflow. The contoured spine ensures it sits deep in the gullet, preventing pressure on the wither, while the elasticated D-ring straps keep everything secure without the bulk of traditional long straps. It’s a sophisticated upgrade for any rider who values both technical performance and a polished, ranch-ready look.Key Benefits Advanced Moisture Management: The ULTRA DRI ZONE lining instantly wicks sweat away from the horse's skin, regulating temperature and preventing the friction that leads to rubs during high-intensity work. Customized Saddle Fit: Available in two distinct size ranges (15"–16.5" and 17"–18") to ensure the pad aligns perfectly with your saddle seat size and prevents excess material bunching. Enhanced Stability: Features elasticated D-ring straps that provide a secure, low-profile connection to the saddle, ensuring the pad stays in place even over the biggest fences. Professional Competition Finish: The smooth-texture outer fabric and signature metal ARMA badge offer a high-end aesthetic suitable for the show ring or professional clinics. Pressure Relief: The anatomically contoured spine follows the horse's topline, providing vital clearance for the withers and ensuring the pad stays tucked up in the gullet.
