Cashel English Tush Cushion - 1/2 Inch Closed-Cell Foam Saddle Seat Pad - Shock Absorbing & Moisture Resistant

Stop letting saddle soreness cut your rides short and reclaim the joy of every hour spent in the irons. The Cashel English Tush Cushion transforms even the firmest saddle into a haven of comfort, allowing you to focus entirely on your horse’s movement rather than your own discomfort.

Crafted from premium 1/2-inch closed-cell foam, this cushion is engineered to provide superior weight distribution and shock absorption without the bulk of traditional pads. Unlike open-cell alternatives that collapse under pressure, Cashel’s specialized material maintains its integrity over miles of trail or hours in the arena, ensuring a consistent, high-performance interface that protects your back and seat from repetitive impact.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 1/2-Inch Closed-Cell Foam: Engineered to absorb high-impact shock and distribute weight evenly without collapsing or "bottoming out" during extended use.
• Universal English Fit: Measuring approximately 13" W x 14" L, the contoured design is expertly shaped to fit most 16" to 18" English saddles seamlessly.
• Adjustable Nylon Straps: Features a secure attachment system that prevents the cushion from sliding or shifting on slick leather seats, ensuring rider stability.
• Moisture-Resistant & Hygienic: The specialized foam does not absorb sweat or water, making it easy to clean and preventing the buildup of odors or bacteria.
• Close-Contact Performance: Designed to provide essential relief for the tailbone and seat bones without altering your center of gravity or compromising your feel for the horse.
• Durable Jersey Cover: Includes a removable and washable jersey cotton cover for effortless maintenance and a soft, breathable finish against the rider.
