Crafted with a meticulous hand-sewn, three-layer construction, this pad merges traditional New Zealand wool artistry with advanced impact protection.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 100% New Zealand Wool Top: Provides superior natural breathability and exceptional moisture-wicking capabilities while featuring the vibrant, eye-catching Jalapeno collection patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Will this saddle pad help prevent my saddle from sliding or bridging?
A: Absolutely. The Jalapeno pad features an anatomical contour developed from the horse’s back up, which allows it to sit flush against the spine and "lock" into place, effectively eliminating the gaps that cause bridging and movement.

Q: How do I choose the right size for my Western saddle?
A: The 30” x 34” size is the industry standard for most Western performance and barrel saddles. If you use a large-skirted show saddle or ride a larger-framed horse like a Draft cross, the 33” x 38” oversized option provides the necessary coverage and protection.

Q: What is the best way to clean the New Zealand wool and fleece?
A: To maintain the integrity of the natural fibers, hand wash or hose off the pad with a pressure nozzle using a mild soap like Woolite. Always air-dry with the fleece side up and avoid machine washing to prevent damaging the shock-absorbing core.
