Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Will this pad fit my 17.5" jump saddle without slipping?
A: Absolutely. This pad is specifically contoured for 17-18 inch all-purpose and jump saddles and features elasticated D-ring straps combined with touch-close billet straps to provide a secure, non-slip fit even during active jumping.

Q: How does the WickAway technology help a horse with sensitive skin?
A: The WickAway lining pulls moisture away from the coat to the outer layer of the pad. By keeping the skin dry, it minimizes the heat and friction that typically cause "scald" or irritation during long training sessions.

Q: Is this pad durable enough for daily schooling and then showing?
A: Yes! While the white synthetic suede provides a show-ring ready aesthetic, the reinforced girth guards and machine-washable fabric are designed to withstand the rigors of daily barn use.
