Used with the Sopris Roughy Saddle.

The design of the two-piece Sopris Split Pad was conceived to eliminate all contact with the spine and to allow body heat to vent through the top of the saddle. Enclosed within the pad covers is a 5/8”-thick felt pad, surrounded by 1/4” closed-cell foam to provide a total 1" of padding.

These design materials work together to absorb shock and to prevent the pad from compressing under the load. The pad attaches to the underside of the saddle with Velcro, and a newly designed 3”-wide webbing sleeve at the front (rounded end of the saddle bars), and an adjustable strap at the rear hold the pad tightly on the saddle. The design also allows for custom fit on sway-backed animals and can be used on most straight-bar saddles to increase the saddle’s contact area through the use of our moon pad inserts (available on request). Pad innards can be removed when washing the cover.
