The difference between this pad and the Protec Pad is the innovative shims that can be added or removed depending on the needs of the horse. With this system you can optimize the saddle fit and can easily adjust when your horse changes shape. This pad comes with all 3 types of shims.This new saddle pad is proudly made in Germany and can be very helpful in maintaining a healthy riding horse. It cushions the muscles and spine on the back when riding reducing pressure and absorbing unwanted shock. This pad is very useful on a horse with atrophy of the muscles, or on horses that have not yet developed the proper muscles.The pad is top and bottom slip resistant to ensure the saddle will stay in place. The built in nylon relief strip helps to reduce pressure on the spine and withers which in turn allows the horse to lift its sternum and round without incurring resistance.And finally the pad is made from a light and thin cell material that allows the rider to have a close contact with the horse.
