Frequently Asked Questions: Q: How do I ensure I am choosing the correct size for my Western saddle?A: To achieve optimal weight distribution, your pad should follow the "2-Inch Rule," extending at least 2 inches beyond the entire perimeter of your saddle. We offer this pad in 30"x30", 30"x32", and 32"x32" dimensions to accommodate a wide variety of square-skirted saddle lengths. Q: Will the cushioning lose its effectiveness after multiple washes?A: Quite the opposite!
