Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Toklat WoolBack pad ensure my horse's comfort and prevent overheating during long rides?

The Toklat WoolBack pad is constructed from 100% virgin wool, a natural fiber renowned for its exceptional properties. Wool's unique resiliency provides superior pressure relief and concussion protection, crucial for your horse's comfort during extended periods in the saddle. Furthermore, its highly porous structure allows for continuous air circulation, which actively dissipates heat. It also absorbs up to 80% of its weight in moisture, effectively wicking away sweat to keep your horse's back moist but never wet, thereby preventing overheating and potential skin issues like scalding, making it ideal for various climates.

How durable is the Toklat WoolBack Barrel Endurance Pad, and how long can I expect it to last?

The Toklat WoolBack Barrel Endurance Pad is built for longevity. Its innovative WoolBack fleece is specifically engineered to stand up to the rigors of everyday riding, ensuring years of soft, cushioned protection with proper care. Many riders report using these pads for several years, attesting to their remarkable durability. While the dense wool pile is extremely resilient, it may eventually show some compression over extensive, heavy use, especially if used daily for training. Even then, many riders continue to use older pads for daily work while reserving newer ones for competition.

Is the Toklat WoolBack pad easy to clean?

Absolutely! One of the significant advantages of the Toklat WoolBack pad is its easy care. It is machine washable on a gentle cycle, and you can tumble dry it on low heat. This convenience ensures that keeping your pad fresh and clean is simple, allowing you to maintain its performance and hygiene without hassle.

Will this pad fit my saddle, and will it help prevent saddle slipping?

The Toklat WoolBack Barrel Endurance Pad is specifically designed to be perfect for sport-style endurance saddles, and its versatile shape often accommodates other types, including barrel, treeless, and even some AP saddles. Its approximate dimensions are 29" x 40.5" x 2" (thickness prior to pressure). Regarding slipping, the natural minute "barbs" in the wool fibers create a gentle grip on your horse's hair, providing excellent non-slip properties. This helps to keep your saddle securely in place, even during strenuous activity or when your horse sweats, enhancing both your and your horse's safety and comfort.

Does this pad offer advanced impact protection for my horse's back?

The standard Toklat WoolBack pad provides excellent cushioning, pressure relief, and concussion protection due to its dense virgin wool construction, which is highly beneficial for your horse's back health. For riders seeking enhanced impact protection beyond what the standard WoolBack offers, particularly for sensitive horses or high-impact disciplines, Toklat also produces T3 Matrix Endurance Saddle Pads with WoolBack. These advanced versions feature interchangeable and removable impact protection inserts (such as Extreme Pro or Ortho-Impact) for customized cushioning and support. If you require this specialized level of impact protection, we recommend exploring the T3 Matrix line.
