Eliminate the risk of girth galls and saddle sores while giving your horse the luxurious, pressure-relieving comfort they deserve. The SupaFleece Rimmed Shaped Pad combines the plush feel of sheepskin with a high-performance, anatomical design to ensure every ride is smooth and friction-free.

Meticulously engineered for the discerning equestrian, this pad features a high-density SupaFleece lining that mimics the shock absorption and breathability of genuine wool without the high-maintenance care.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I know if this size will fit my saddle?
A: Sizing for this pad is determined by the saddle’s seat size rather than the horse's height. This 16"-16.5" model is tailored for smaller close-contact or pony saddles to ensure the rimmed edges sit correctly outside the cantle without bunching.

Q: Is this pad suitable for the show ring and daily schooling?
A: Absolutely. While its "shaped" cut is the traditional choice for showing off conformation in Hunter/Jumper classes, its machine-washable durability makes it rugged enough for daily schooling and fox hunting.

Q: Does the SupaFleece material require special wool detergent?
A: No, unlike genuine sheepskin, SupaFleece is designed for easy maintenance. You can wash it in a standard machine, and it will retain its plush loft and softness ride after ride.
