This anatomically shaped cotton saddle pad has a wide edge of medicinally tanned sheepskin. The underside is also covered with sheepskin, with a recess for the spinal canal. At the top, the pad is equipped with six compartments with removable neoprene pads with a thickness of 8 mm. The pads can be used to raise the withers and back. In this way, the pad ensures a stable saddle position for horses with a less developed withers or a soft or sunken back. The combination of sheepskin and neoprene ensures that the weight of saddle and rider is distributed in a very equal way over the horse's back. This reduces pressure on the vertebrae and withers. Medicinally tanned sheepskins reduce the risk of overheating and are also hygienic, sweat-resistant and antibacterial. Particularly suitable for horses with sensitive skin. The pad fits under all saddles and can be used directly on the horse's back or between saddle and saddle pad. To preserve the natural properties of the sheepskin, we recommend washing the product at 30° with a special leather detergent such as BR Leather Wash (article 764001)
