Shires ARMA Corrective Saddlecloth - Premium Equestrian Correction Pad for Improved Saddle Fit

Achieve a bespoke saddle fit and unparalleled comfort with a solution that adapts to your horse’s evolving physique and muscle development. The ARMA Corrective Saddlecloth eliminates pressure points and restores balance, ensuring every ride is supported by anatomical precision and professional-grade stability.

Engineered by Shires, this saddlecloth combines high-performance textiles with a sophisticated 4-pocket shim system to provide a truly customizable experience for the discerning rider. The integration of the advanced Ultra Dri Zone lining ensures that while you are fine-tuning the balance of your saddle, your horse remains cool and dry, preventing the heat buildup and friction rubs often associated with traditional corrective pads.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 4-Pocket Shim System: Features four internal pockets (front and back) and includes three sets of 0.25" low-compression shims to allow for precise lift and balance adjustments.
• Ultra Dri Zone Lining: An advanced moisture-wicking underside that instantly pulls sweat away from the horse to prevent overheating and skin irritation.
• Contoured Anatomical Shape: Specifically designed with a high-wither profile to provide essential spinal clearance and reduce pressure on the sensitive wither area.

• Verified Spine Lengths: Designed to fit your horse’s back perfectly with spine lengths of 44cm (Pony), 49cm (Pony/Cob), and 56cm (Cob/Full).
• Optimized Vertical Depth: Provides professional flap coverage with a vertical drop ranging from 40cm for ponies to 48cm for full-sized horses.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this saddlecloth suitable for a horse that is currently changing shape?
A: Absolutely. This is the primary use case for the ARMA Corrective Saddlecloth; it is ideal for horses in rehab, young horses developing muscle, or older horses with changing toplines, allowing you to maintain a perfect fit without buying a new saddle.

Q: Can I use this pad on multiple horses with the same saddle?
A: Yes, this is a favorite for trainers. The non-permanent shim system allows you to quickly add or remove the 0.25" shims to accommodate different horses, ensuring each one has a balanced and comfortable ride.
