Designed to match each of our different saddles models, the Special Pad is contoured to accommodate the horse’s withers, with a split over the wither area to avoid rubbing and compression. Anatomically shaped removable foam inserts allow for good spinal clearance and guarantee ideal pressure absorption and distribution. Even more comfort and cushioning is achieved by the pure wool underside providing temperature regulation and moisture absorption. There is no wool lining in the spinal channel allowing for additional clearance of the spine and spinous processes. All saddle pads have Poly cotton padding inside, and the top layer is made of strong, durable quilted cotton.
Velcro straps attach to the saddle’s D-rings.
The pad is machine washable (gentle cycle) at 30 degrees Celsius, preferably with wool detergent and should be dried flat. Just remove the foam inserts, wash, and hang dry. Each saddle model has its own contoured pad available in black and brown.

When do I need to add additional shims?
With some horses it is necessary to add extra padding in certain areas of the saddle pad; horses with very wide shoulders benefit by adding shims in the back part of the pad to lift the saddle in that area; horses with over developed hind ends need more padding in the front part of the pad to raise the saddle up in the front. Please, ask your Barefoot Specialists to assist you with any Barefoot product fitting issues.
