The Performer 5 Star Saddle Pad is our full skirted pad. It is a great pad for Ropers, Cutters, Reiners, Trail Riders, and is great for Larger Skirted Saddles. The back is slightly rounded to make room for the hip. The 100% pure virgin wool felt wicks away moisture, cleans up easily and stabilizes your saddle with limited cinching. Wear leathers provide protection and durability. Hand-made in the USA!
What the Flex Fit allows, with its new design of a cut-back in the gullet area at the front of the pad, is the elimination of pressure on the wither area. With most pads, if the pad is not pulled up off of the wither before cinching, it will apply a certain amount of pressure on the wither top line. When this happens, the horse will try to compensate with its shoulders trying to relieve the pressure itself. This will result in your horse’s shoulder not being able to move as freely as possible.
