Incorporating the same innovative technology that sets Leson Saddles apart, we've developed a lightweight, close contact, nonslip saddle pad. The Leson Security Blanket has the secure fit and comfort needed to help keep your horse happy and healthy. Innovative design Channel Air System™The unique Channel Air System™ allows air to circulate and vent through the top channel, helping evaporate moisture and dissipate heat, keeping your horse’s back cooler and more comfortable. Close contact design that helps distribute a rider’s weight where it's most easily carried by the horse, eliminates bulk under the upper leg, and allows for better contact and positioning of the lower leg. Contoured to fit your horse's back. The contour keeps the pad from binding across the withers and shoulders and allows for more freedom of movement. Superior-quality materials Self-conforming EVA for a better saddle fit and a more comfortable horse. The underside is FDA-approved and hypoallergenic, thermo-formed EVA. EVA is preferred in the manufacture of the most advanced running shoes because of its superior cushioning ability, its incredibly light weight, and its ability to conform. Looks great, but still easy to clean. The top side is made of durable, grippy, high-end synthetic suede. Unlike pads that require time to launder and hang dry, you can just hose this one off, shake it dry, and it’s ready to go. Lightweight. Combined, these materials only weigh 24 ounces. It's like tossing a feather on your horse’s back, something both you and your horse will appreciate.
