The Classic Equine Performance Trainer Saddle Pad is the gold standard for professionals who demand longevity and comfort for their equine athletes. Engineered as a high-performance shock absorbing saddle pad, it is specifically designed to withstand the high-torque maneuvers of cutting, reining, and roping, ensuring your horse remains sound and comfortable through every training session. At the heart of this Western performance saddle pad is a 3/4" high-density wool felt core. This material is renowned for its ability to dissipate impact stress and distribute weight evenly across the bars of the saddle. Complementing this core is the innovative contoured horse pad "Breakover" design—a series of strategic stitching lines that allow the pad to mold instantly to your horse's topline, eliminating bridging and wither pressure from the very first ride. For the ultimate in skin-side comfort, this pad features a premium Merino fleece horse pad bottom. 100% Merino fleece is nature’s most effective moisture-wicking material, pulling sweat and heat away from the horse's back to maintain a cool, dry environment even under extreme exertion.
