Weaver Leather Built-Up Fleece Western Saddle Pad for High Withers - 32" x 32"

Give Your High-Withered Horse the Relief They Deserve

If you’ve noticed your saddle tipping forward or pinching those hollow spots behind the shoulder, the Weaver 32X32AP Built-Up Fleece Saddle Pad is the solution your horse has been waiting for. From our barn to yours, we know that a proper fit is the difference between a focused partner and a sore horse. This pad features a specialized built-up design that fills in the gaps, ensuring your saddle stays level and clear of the withers.

Crafted by the experts at Weaver Leather, this pad combines a durable felt filler with a soft fleece bottom for maximum moisture wicking. Whether you're navigating a rocky trail or working cattle on the ranch, the 1-inch total thickness in the front provides the correctional support needed for horses with prominent withers or age-related swaybacks. It’s a practical, hardworking piece of gear built for the long haul.

Key Benefits for Horse & Rider

• Targeted Wither Support: The built-up front features extra layers of felt to fill in hollows behind the shoulder blades, preventing saddle roll and wither pressure.
• Premium Shock Absorption: A thick felt filler core works to distribute weight evenly and absorb impact during long hours in the saddle.
• Cooling Fleece Bottom: The high-quality fleece liner wicks away sweat and heat, keeping your horse’s back cooler and reducing the risk of galling.
• Standard Western Dimensions: Measuring 32" x 32", this pad provides ample coverage for full-skirted Western pleasure and trail saddles.
• Rugged Durability: Like all Weaver gear, this pad is finished with heavy-duty wear leathers to protect against friction from your cinch and stirrup leathers.
