The EQUALIZER SADDLE PAD is a major breakthrough in how to greatly reduce saddle pressure. The underside is a l/2" layer of wool felt, and the top is tough perforated neoprene, and IN BETWEEN is sandwiched a layer of durable flexible plastic, also perforated for ventilation. What this sheeting does (on either side, leaving the spine clear) is lateralize any pressure point of a saddle. It spreads out the bearing force in that area. The pad is ideal for making one saddle fit many different backs -- or many different saddles fit the same back!. With this pad, the saddle can actually fit badly, and it will work in as much as it will greatly decrease the chances of the horse developing a sore back. The standard size pad is 28" in length at its longest, the large is 30" in length, the XL is 32" in length, all three sizes are 32" wide at its widest. . It is scalloped out over the wither, and built with a dip to imitate the top line of most horses. The overall thickness of the pad is 3/4".
