The Cashel Performance Blanket Felt Pad combines professional-grade protection with a stunning purple aesthetic, ensuring your horse stays cool, dry, and focused from the practice pen to the show ring.

Engineered for the serious equestrian, this pad features a high-performance 3/4" pressed felt core that masterfully dissipates impact and prevents pressure points during long hours in the saddle.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 3/4" Pressed Felt Core: Provides elite shock absorption and even pressure distribution to protect your horse's back during intense maneuvers or long trail miles.
• Natural Merino Fleece Bottom: Actively wicks away sweat and heat to prevent overheating and painful rubs, keeping your horse comfortable in all climates.
• Anatomical Contoured Spine: Designed to follow the horse's natural topline, this shape "tents" into the saddle gullet to provide essential wither relief and a friction-free fit.
• 34" x 38" Dimensions: Offers the perfect amount of coverage for standard Western saddles, providing the ideal 2–3 inch clearance beyond the skirt for a professional silhouette.
• New Zealand Wool Top: Features a vibrant purple, high-quality wool blanket that is durable enough for daily training yet polished enough for the Western show ring.
• Reinforced Wear Leathers: Strategically placed to increase the longevity of the pad and protect against friction from the cinch and stirrup leathers.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this pad suitable for horses with high withers?
A: Absolutely. The anatomical contoured spine is specifically engineered to lift the pad off the withers and into the saddle gullet, preventing the "pinching" common with flat pads and ensuring your horse has a full, unrestricted range of motion.

Q: Can I use this pad for both rugged trail riding and showing?
A: Yes! This pad bridges the gap between utility and style. The 3/4" felt core and Merino fleece provide the heavy-duty protection needed for the trail, while the striking purple New Zealand wool top offers the refined look required for the show ring.
