Of all the riding disciplines, correct pads are most critical to the endurance and distance horses. These animals are being ridden many miles in all types of weather. Sweat and dirt are a huge factor, and it is critical to use materials that protect from shock and abrasion and also dissipate heat. Small fitting problems with a saddle can amplify greatly on a long ride. The pads that we offer have passed our tests and have been used by our staff members in both pleasure and competitive rides.
