English Smartpad Saddle Pad - Description VersaFit™, in collaboration with Parelli Saddles, continues to redefine equestrian standards with nearly three decades of industry leadership in saddle innovation. We are committed to enhancing your horse's comfort and performance using superior materials, advanced saddle fitting techniques, and exceptional customer service. Our saddle pads are engineered based on extensive research to facilitate unrestricted shoulder movement, reduce focal pressure points, and improve overall saddle fit, motion range, and performance. Introducing the all-in-one Therapeutic Shimmable Full English Saddle Pad. This innovative pad features a SmartFoam™ core, a high-performance, medical-grade memory foam that provides unparalleled shock absorption and pressure-point relief, all while maintaining a slim profile to ensure close contact between rider and horse. This pad is equipped with full-length, easily accessible shim pockets, allowing for infinite micro-adjustments using our custom VersaFit™ Shims for a tailored saddle fit. The top of the pad is either a light 3D Spacer mesh or durable Cordura, paired with a bottom layer of breathable TecFleece™. This anti-microbial, non-slip felt offers superior wicking and cooling properties compared to traditional wool, ensuring your horse stays dry and comfortable. Designed for practicality, this pad is easy to clean and quick to dry, making maintenance effortless. It provides generous wither clearance and is intended to be used directly between your horse and your English saddle. How to Use: Position the pad on your horse, ensuring it's centered from front to back and side to side. Place your saddle on top and adjust the front of your standard pad to alleviate any pressure on the withers. We recommend inserting our specially shaped shoulder clearance shims for enhanced freedom of movement and performance. Temperature-Sensitive SmartFoam™: The SmartFoam™ inserts adapt to temperature changes; they firm up in cold weather and soften in warmth, benefiting from your horse's body heat to mold for comfort. Adjust your girth gradually to accommodate the foam's compression properties, especially in cooler weather.
