Product description
Achieve a more balanced, comfortable ride with the Shires ARMA Shaped Pad with Corrective Shim. Designed for riders who need practical saddle-fit support without sacrificing performance, this premium corrective saddle pad helps fine-tune the fit of an English jumping or dressage saddle while cushioning the horse’s back from everyday riding pressure.
The shaped profile follows the contours of the saddle and horse, creating a streamlined layer that sits neatly beneath the panels. Its shock-absorbing construction helps soften impact and reduce pressure during schooling, jumping, competition, and regular arena work. The result is a more comfortable feel for your horse and a secure, supportive foundation for the rider.
Adjustable correction is the key advantage. The integrated four-pocket shim system allows you to position corrective inserts where additional lift or support is needed. This makes it easier to address a saddle that needs balancing, a horse with prominent or changing withers, or topline changes that affect the way the saddle sits.
Performance-focused saddle support
- Shaped design complements English jumping and dressage saddles.
- Corrective shim pockets allow targeted adjustment at the front, center, or rear.
- Shock-absorbing padding helps cushion the horse’s back during movement.
- Useful for correcting minor balance issues and supporting changing saddle-fit needs.
- Streamlined construction maintains a close, professional appearance beneath the saddle.
Because every horse’s back and every saddle fit differently, shims should be selected and positioned carefully. Make adjustments gradually, check the saddle’s balance and stability, and evaluate your horse’s comfort before demanding work. The pad is designed to assist with fit correction; it does not replace a qualified saddle-fitting assessment when a significant issue is present.
Whether you are preparing for a jumping round, refining your dressage connection, or keeping an evolving horse comfortable through training, the Shires ARMA corrective shim saddle pad provides flexible support where it matters most. It is a practical choice for riders seeking adjustable fit correction, dependable cushioning, and a polished performance setup in one premium equestrian saddle pad.
