Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the SMx Air Ride technology so effective for shock absorption?

The SMx Air Ride core utilizes specialized, compression-resistant material designed to absorb impact and disperse energy evenly across the pad. This innovative technology functions much like high-performance athletic gear, protecting your horse's back by preventing uncomfortable pressure points and minimizing the jarring effects of riding, ensuring superior protection against impact.

How does this pad help keep my horse cool and comfortable?

The unique Air Ride core is engineered for superior breathability. Its open-cell structure allows for consistent air circulation in all directions, actively facilitating accelerated heat dispersion and moisture evaporation. This creates a natural cooling system that helps lower your horse's body temperature and reduce fatigue, keeping them cooler and more comfortable throughout your ride.

How does the Comfort-Fit design prevent slipping and improve saddle fit?

The Comfort-Fit design is anatomically contoured to follow the natural curve of your horse's spine. This thoughtful design helps the pad "lock in place" and move seamlessly with your horse, preventing common slipping issues and significantly improving the overall fit and stability of your saddle. Your horse moves freely, and your saddle stays secure.

My horse has prominent withers or strong shoulders. Will this pad fit?

Absolutely! The Comfort-Fit design provides an anatomically correct fit. For horses with specific conformations like prominent withers or strong shoulders, we offer the OrthoSport version. This variation includes additional ¼” Air Ride core padding behind the shoulders and along the spine, which significantly enhances saddle fit, relieves pressure from sensitive areas, and ensures even weight distribution for maximum comfort.

How durable is this saddle pad, and what's the best way to clean it?

The Professional's Choice Comfort-Fit SMX Air Ride Saddle Pad is built for longevity. Its heavy-duty, compression-resistant Air Ride core is designed to maintain its structure and effectiveness over countless rides. The Merino wool lining is chosen for its moisture-wicking properties and durability. To preserve its integrity, we recommend hand washing with cool water, a damp cloth, and a mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid dry cleaning or machine washing, as high heat and pressure can damage the specialized SMx Air Ride material and compromise its performance.
