POCKETS PAD -THE RISER SADDLE PAD
Riser saddle pad made with 4 independent shimmable pockets.
Description
Pockets Pad is a riser pad equipped with interchangeable padding of multiple thicknesses and different materials to compensate for small asymmetries in the back of the horse and the saddle panels. Available in RISER or EXTRA RISER models for more or less pronounced withers. HALF or COMPLETE shape for riders with different needs.
The anatomical shape guarantees freedom of movement for the shoulder and all the necessary clearance in the area of the withers and spine to preserve the delicate structures of the back from crushing and splitting. Coated in solid outer cordura, they are very durable and easy to maintain. Several color combinations are available, all strictly hand-made.
To verify its performance, Pockets Pad was tested with a mat equipped with compression sensors.

What problems it solves
To the horse: distributes evenly the weight of the rider.
To the rider: provides customizable and targeted support.
To the saddle: compensates for the progressive crushing of the saddle panels until the next revision .
To professionals: it helps riders and instructors in need to adapt the same saddle to multiple horses restoring the setting (still according to the principle that the corrective saddlepad does not replace a saddle that does not properly dress fit the horse.)

Washing
All our products are made of durable materials. For a correct washing we recommend following the instructions on the labels. Products that have padded pockets are advised to empty the pockets first. It is recommended not to immerse the padding in water, if necessary, moisten them with a cloth. Velvet products are just as resistant but gentle washing is recommended. Our fabrics are stabilized however a slight shrinkage may occur after the first wash.
