Professional’s Choice 1" Felt & Rubber Western Work Saddle Pad - Black, 31" x 32"

Stop worrying about saddle roll during high-intensity maneuvers and give your horse the professional-grade protection they deserve. This heavy-duty 1-inch work pad combines a stay-put grip with superior shock absorption to keep your saddle secure and your horse comfortable through the longest ranch days.

Engineered by Professional’s Choice, the WPR200-BLA is a performance-driven powerhouse designed specifically for the rigors of daily training, ranch work, and western performance. By pairing a traditional natural felt top with a modern antimicrobial closed-cell foam bottom, this pad offers a hybrid solution that manages heavy impact while preventing the moisture absorption that leads to bacteria buildup and pad degradation.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Dual-Layer Shock Protection: Features a 1-inch total thickness, consisting of a 1/2-inch natural felt top for pressure distribution and a 1/2-inch closed-cell foam bottom for maximum impact resistance.
• Stay-Put Stability: The "tacky" rubberized bottom provides a superior grip that eliminates saddle roll, making it the ultimate problem-solver for round-backed or mutton-withered horses.
• Anatomical Contoured Fit: Expertly shaped to follow the natural curve of the horse’s back with a reinforced wither cutout that relieves pressure and prevents rubbing during high-energy movements.
• Hygienic & Easy to Clean: The moisture-resistant, antimicrobial rubber bottom won't absorb sweat or bacteria—simply hose it off after a ride for a fresh, clean surface every time.
• Standard Work Dimensions: Measuring 31" x 32", this pad provides ample coverage for most western work saddles, ensuring the necessary clearance to prevent cinch buckles from rubbing the skin.
• Heavy-Duty Durability: Built for daily "work" use, the high-quality foam maintains its loft and shape even under extreme pressure, providing years of reliable protection without compressing.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Will this pad keep my saddle from slipping on a horse with no withers?
A: Absolutely. The rubberized closed-cell foam bottom is specifically designed to provide a "stay-put" grip that outperforms traditional felt-on-hair, making it a favorite for barrel racing, ranch sorting, and horses with limited wither definition.

Q: Is this pad breathable enough for intense training sessions?
A: While the rubber bottom is less porous than 100% wool, it is engineered for high-performance stability. Because it is moisture-resistant, the pad won't become "waterlogged" or heavy with sweat, maintaining consistent shock protection throughout your entire workout.
