Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Will this pad fit my forward-flap close-contact saddle?
A: Yes! This pad is specifically formulated with a forward-flap profile and a 56cm spine length to ensure an even border around the cantle and proper coverage for jumping saddles that often "overhang" standard all-purpose pads.

Q: How does the WickAway technology help my horse during intense work?
A: The WickAway lining acts as a moisture-management system, pulling sweat away from the horse's back to prevent overheating and friction, ensuring your horse stays comfortable even during the most rigorous training or competition.
