If you ride in a 15\"–16.5\" saddle, select the 16.5\" pad; for 17\"–18\" saddles, the 18\" pad ensures the rear panels are fully supported without overlapping the binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can this pad help if my horse is currently out of work and losing topline?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, this is the primary benefit of the ARMA shim system. The three sets of shims allow you to temporarily \"fill in\" areas of muscle atrophy, maintaining a balanced saddle fit and protecting the horse's back while you work on rebuilding their condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shires","offers":[{"title":"16-16.5","offer_id":47492734615773,"sku":"10100WHT16-16.5","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"17-17.5","offer_id":47492734648541,"sku":"10100WHT17-17.5","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18","offer_id":47492734681309,"sku":"10100WHT18","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/shires-arma-shaped-pad-with-corrective-shim-premium-shock-absorbing-equestrian-saddle-pad-10100wht16-16-5.webp?v=1771946122","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/arma-shaped-pad-with-corrective-shim","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
