You can feel confident that your saddle will stay in place comfortably even on the hottest days. With a variety of sizes to fit saddles from 15” to 18.5”, you can be sure we have a hunter pad that will fit just right. All our hunter pads have: Non-slip security: Breathable and hypoallergenic, our non-slip material is neoprene-free. It’s strong enough to stay in place yet soft on the skin. It keeps the horse’s back comfortable while securing the saddle for a safe, competitive ride. Impact protection: Offering superior support force and responsiveness over conventional or memory foam, our High Resilience Foam reduces pressure at the points of greatest weight and quickly springs back after impact to provide support and protection to the horse’s back. Quick dry performance: The high-tech fabric is engineered to provide airflow and faster moisture evaporation. Our goal is to keep the horse as dry as possible, as quickly as possible. Wither-relief: Anatomical design along with our Frictionless system mean the horse’s back and withers will be comfortable in our saddle pads. The fleece contour is 3.5” thick around the pad in sizes small, medium and large. It is 4″ thick around the XL. How thick is the ShimCare Hunter Pad? The seat area comes with a 0.5″ thick high resiliency foam insert plus 0.5″ front and rear shims. You can adjust the thickness for a custom fit.
