The EDIX sheepskin western pad is anatomically shaped for an optimal fit. The pad offers spinal freedom thanks to the inserts on both sides of the spine, and the sheepskin is cut short at the spine. The advantage of sheared sheepskin is the absence of irritating seams around the spine. The top of the pad is made of cotton, while the bottom is made of Merino sheepskin. The sheepskin is antibacterial, improves pressure distribution, and prevents chafing. There are 8 compartments for inserts/shims, with one large compartment on each side running the length of the pad and 3 small compartments allowing for separate filling/shimming at the front, middle, and back.
Advantages of EDIX Sheepskin Western Pad:
+ Sheared channel for the spine in the sheepskin underside provides more spinal freedom and is seamless to prevent irritations
+ The sheepskin underside contributes to pressure distribution under the saddle and prevents chafing
+ Shimming options for making corrections to the saddle's position
Disadvantages of Sheepskin Western Pad:
- Sheepskin, especially when new, can be slippery and may cause the saddle to shift more easily on round horses
- Sheep are slaughtered for the production of sheepskin, making the product not animal-friendly
- To maintain the benefits of the sheepskin, a sheepskin pad must be washed with sheepskin detergent
The sheepskin western pad is ideal for:
