It works as a jumping saddle pad for schooling over poles and small fences, as a dressage saddle pad for flatwork and transitions, and as a comfortable hacking pad on the trail, so you do not need separate pads for each discipline. Pair it with an all-purpose English saddle for the cleanest fit, or layer a half pad underneath for extra cushioning on a sensitive-backed horse.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"366\" data-start=\"300\" data-section-id=\"4bflnv\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecific Riding Situations Where This Saddle Pad Performs Best\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"401\" data-start=\"368\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-end=\"401\" data-start=\"368\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily Schooling and Training\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"678\" data-start=\"403\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"678\" data-start=\"403\"\u003eThis saddle pad is an excellent choice for everyday schooling sessions.

If your horse currently uses a pad where the saddle skirts overhang the edges, or you ride a wider horse and find conventional pads sit too short across the back, this is the size you want. If your horse measures around 15 to 17 hands with a standard build, a full size pad is correct. Ponies and small cobs should sit one size down.

The difference between a quality pad and a thin synthetic one shows up within weeks of regular use. A poorly built pad flattens, bunches under pressure, traps heat against the back, and transfers concussion straight through to the spinal muscles, which leads to soreness, rubbing, and a horse that grows reluctant to work.
