First I need to see a picture of the side view top line
of your horse (s) without saddle or rider; please make sure the horse is
standing still, on level ground with head up and all four feet showing
against a good contrasting background. Second, I need to see an overhead
picture from the rear that clearly shows the side to side contour of the
back. And third, I need a side view picture of the rider in the current
saddle that is being used on the horse standing still (please specify
make, model and seat size of the current saddle).
The table below is showing the shape of the saddle pad.
Some of the fabric patterns are not available.
The solid colors are available. Anti Slip strips can be added to your pad.

The
unique feature of our treeless saddle pad is the front-loading foam inserts as
shown protruding from the front of a round-skirt “Sport Saddle” pad. The
only seam down the spine is the joining seam for the two sides, as the Velcro®
closures for the foam pockets are located on the front edges of the pad. The
foam panels lift the saddle off the spine leaving an air channel down the center
of the pad. Foam inserts are available in ½", ¾", 1" and
laminated thickness. The particular pad shown is fitted with a “Drytop”
outer cover to allow heat and moisture to release between the saddle and pad.

A Tip for saddle
slippage...cinching up!
Hello! I have over 39,000 mi logged in BM in
11 years-the saddle works best with the Skito equalizer™ pad designed
for that saddle with 100% wool underside-retighten girth after it warms
up-you will settle into the horse where you would be riding it
bareback-breast collar-endurance style is best-any girth but neoprene
works best-neoprene is self lubing and ads to slippage-wool or mohair is
best-retighten girth after mounting-should not be any slippage.

Shoulder Bridge combination:
Foremost
of the bridge pads is the Shoulder Bridge used to fill the pocket at the
base of the withers and behind the scapula to mid back for horses with a
pronounced shoulder pocket and prominent withers. Encased in black spandex,
the foam inserts vary from ½” to 1½” with the bottom and trailing
edges tapered to reduce pressure lines. The most effective placement of the
Shoulder Bridge is on top of a thin pad or directly against the horse with
the tapered edges facing the animal.

Long
Shoulder Bridge:
The
shoulder bridge shim
is six inches longer than the standard Shoulder Bridge and useful
for the
older horse with a significantly dropped back. Encased in black spandex, the
foam inserts
vary from ½” to 1½” with the bottom and trailing edges tapered
to reduce pressure lines. The most
effective placement of the Shoulder
Bridge is on top of a thin pad or directly against the horse
with the
tapered edges facing the animal.

ENGLISH BRIDGE:
The English Bridge pad is intended to fill the hollow at mid back, thus
equalizing pressure the full length of the tree. Encased in black spandex,
the foam inserts vary from ½” to 1½” thick. Front, back and bottom edges are
tapered to provide a transition without pressure lines

placement of the English Bridge is on top of a thin pad or directly against

Scalloped Full
Front Lift and Full Rear Lift.
The
Full Front lift is not intended as a bridge pad but rather as a lift for
the front of the saddle without creating a bridging condition.
This pad is useful for the horse that is built a little downhill or
has a deep scapula pocket that extends past mid-back to the hip. Encased
in black spandex, the foam inserts vary from ½” to 1” thick. The
bottom and back edges are tapered to provide a transition without pressure
lines. |
WESTERN BRIDGE: The
Western Bridge Pad is cut larger than its English cousin to accommodate
the larger western tree. The Western Bridge pad is intended to fill the
hollow at mid back, thus equalizing pressure the full length of the tree.
Encased in black spandex, the foam inserts vary from ½” to 1½”
thick. Front, back and bottom edges are tapered to provide a transition
without pressure lines The
most effective placement of the Western Bridge is on top of a thin pad or
directly against the horse with the tapered edges facing the animal.

When tracing your saddle an old sheet or inexpensive fabric can be used.

Care for saddles fit accessories:
Rinse the pads with clean water. Squeeze or roll but do not wring to
remove excess water. Remove embedded hair with a lint roller or the sticky side
of packaging tape. Avoid soaps, bleach, washing machines and dryers.
