Cashel Western Tush Cushion Foam - Extended 5" Seat with Cantle Support and Closed-Cell Foam

Stop letting saddle fatigue dictate your ride time and start enjoying every mile with the ultimate shield against soreness. The Cashel Western Tush Cushion Foam transforms even the hardest saddle into a cloud-like seat, ensuring your focus stays on the trail rather than your discomfort.

Engineered with Cashel’s legendary closed-cell foam technology, this cushion provides superior shock absorption without the bulk or heat-retention of traditional gel or fleece pads. Unlike materials that bottom out or shift over time, this advanced foam maintains its structural integrity and low-profile fit, preserving your close-contact connection with your horse while providing critical protection for your sciatic area, hips, and tailbone.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Advanced Closed-Cell Foam: Engineered to never collapse, bunch, or "bottom out," providing consistent, long-term support that protects your sit bones from impact.
• Multiple Sizing Options: Available in Standard (13" x 10") for saddles 16" and smaller, Long (13" x 15") for 17"+ saddles, and Luxury (15.5" x 17") for maximum coverage and larger frames.
• Extended Cantle Support: The "Long" and "Luxury" designs feature an additional 5 inches of padding that extends up the cantle, making it the premier choice for riders with tailbone sensitivities or injuries.
• Temperature-Neutral Performance: Unlike gel inserts that trap heat, this foam does not absorb sun or body heat, ensuring a cool and comfortable seat during high-mileage summer rides.
• Stay-Put Stability: Features heavy-duty adjustable nylon straps that secure the cushion firmly to your Western saddle, preventing any sliding or shifting during steep climbs or gaited movement.
• Low-Profile Design: Delivers maximum comfort and shock absorption without significantly raising your center of gravity or interfering with your balance in the seat.
• Durable & Easy Care: Built for the rigors of trail and endurance riding, this cushion features washable components to maintain freshness ride after ride.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Which size should I choose for my Western saddle?
A: For saddles 16" and smaller, the Standard (13" x 10") focuses protection on the pelvic sit-bones. If you have a 17"+ saddle or require extra protection for your tailbone, the Long (13" x 15") is recommended as it provides 5 inches of extra padding up the cantle. For riders seeking the widest possible coverage, the Luxury (15.5" x 17") is the best fit.

Q: Will this cushion make my seat feel hot or bulky?
A: No. Cashel uses specialized closed-cell foam that is specifically designed to be low-profile and heat-resistant. It provides high-density shock absorption without the "squishy" or bulky feeling of gel, allowing you to maintain a close-contact feel with your horse while staying cool.
