Made from a 3/8-inch thick wool blend, this pad provides excellent shock absorption. The XPF core offers the highest level of protection for the horse’s back. The 5/8-inch thick felt underlay absorbs moisture and wicks heat away from the horse’s back. The rug moulds perfectly to any back, providing excellent shock absorption. It features a cut-out at the withers for an even better fit. This pad is one of the top saddle pads available.
