The therapeutic shock absorption and non-slip of shaped gel pad with added softness of the full sheepskin on back side. The gel will stop any unwanted movement of the saddle both back & forth and side to side. A real asset if saddles rotate on the 'rounder' horses.
The saddle is then cradled in a luxurious full lambskin for the ultimate in "good looks". The sheepskin is a natural material. It does not cause allergies, is very soft and delicate, and perfectly suited to prevent chafing, abrasions and blisters.
The pad is shaped and moulded to the saddle with a slightly thinner depth of gel running down the centre of the pad allowing the gel to sit up in the gullet rather than pushing down on the wither and spine.
This is a very useful pad for any Icelandic horse owner.
