  51. Saddle Pads have a ¾ inch breathable core and hand woven 100% wool Navajo blanket top. Heavy-Duty SMx Air Ride core protects the horses back from pressure. 100% merino wool lining helps wick away moisture and conforms to the horse for maximum comfort. These pads are appropriate for any western discipline. Heavy-Duty Air Ride absorbs shock that could affect the performance of the horse. SMx Air Ride Saddle Pads are available in a variety of special sizes and shapes and color combinations.
