Keep Your Horse Cool and Comfortable Under Pressure

The ARMA Air Motion Luxe Saddlecloth by Shires is built for the rider who knows that a sweaty, overheated back is the quickest way to a sour horse. Designed with advanced 3D technology, this pad doesn't just sit there—it breathes, moves, and protects during every stride of your ride. From the training ring to the trail, it's engineered to keep your horse performing at their peak.

Whether you’re schooling in the summer heat or putting in long miles, the Air Motion fabric creates a cooling microclimate between the saddle and your horse. It’s about more than just comfort; it’s about maintaining skin health and focus when the work gets tough. This is a piece of gear that works as hard as you do, from our barn to yours.

Key Benefits for Horse & Rider

• Maximum Breathability: The Air Motion 3D hexagonal quilted fabric allows for constant airflow, preventing heat buildup even during high-intensity training sessions.
• Instant Moisture Wicking: Featuring an ULTRA DRI ZONE lining, this pad pulls sweat away from the skin immediately to reduce the risk of rubbing, heat bumps, and discomfort.
• Advanced Impact Protection: The unique anti-compression structure helps smooth out jolts and redistribute pressure, providing a buffer for your horse's back during endurance or jumping.
• Precision Fit: Sized by saddle seat length (15"-16.5" or 17"-18") rather than generic sizing, ensuring a perfect fit under your panels without unnecessary bulk or shifting.
• Durable All-Purpose Design: The versatile General Purpose (GP) shape makes it a reliable, long-lasting choice for schooling, hacking, and everyday barn work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right size for my horse?

Unlike standard pads that use generic 'Full' or 'Cob' labels, the ARMA Air Motion Luxe Saddlecloth is sized by your saddle's seat. Choose the 15" – 16.5" for smaller or pony saddles, and the 17" – 18" for standard adult-sized saddles to ensure a precise fit under the panels.

Q: Is this pad suitable for horses with sensitive skin?

Yes! The ULTRA DRI ZONE lining is specifically designed to wick moisture away instantly. By keeping the back dry, it significantly reduces the friction and moisture buildup that typically causes heat bumps and rubbing.

Q: Can this pad be used for jumping?

Absolutely. The General Purpose (GP) shape is designed to accommodate most jumping and all-purpose saddles, providing the necessary clearance and protection for active disciplines.
