Design Correction treeless pad with inserts Libre:
The pad is anatomically shaped for optimal fit and has a small split at the withers. On both sides of the spine, there is one large insert pocket for inserts that run the entire length of the pad and can be closed with Velcro. By filling the pad with inserts on both sides of the spine, additional spine freedom is created under the saddle, preventing the pad from pinching or rubbing the spine during riding. This is important for many treeless saddles, as not all treeless saddles provide sufficient spine freedom from the saddle. There are 6 compartments at the top to put shimps (small inserts) in, 3 on each side of the spine. This allows you to optimize the position of your saddle if necessary. Fill/shim front/middle/back separately.
Advantages of EDIX correction pad:
+ Provides extra spine freedom under (treeless) saddles
+ Improves pressure distribution with treeless saddles
+ With shimp options for adjusting the saddle position
+ Supplied with double felt inserts and shimps so you can make small corrections immediately
Disadvantages of pad with inserts EDIX:
- Lambskin is, especially when new, smooth and can cause the saddle to slide faster on round horses
- A sheep is slaughtered for the production of lambskin, so the product is not sheep-friendly
- To maintain the benefits of lambskin, a lambskin pad must be washed with lambskin detergent
Material of pad with inserts:
- Upper side: very strong cotton quilted fabric, reinforced with nylon at the bottom where the girth and rider's leg meet the pad.
- Filling: felt inserts, medium firmness
- Lower side bearing surface: lambskin wool
- Lower side sweat flap: cotton

Delivery of pad with inserts:
The Libre pad comes with double felt inserts and 6 felt shimps. In addition, a small care kit with instructions has been added to the pad.
Maintenance and washing of the treeless pad with inserts:
To keep the pad lasting long, it is advisable to occasionally clean it with a vacuum cleaner if it is a bit dirty. If the pad really needs to be washed, it can be machine washed up to 30 degrees, do not put it in the dryer. Remove inserts before washing, then the pad will dry much faster. Also close the Velcro loops before washing, so they are not full of hair and lint afterwards. To maintain the lambskin, it is recommended to wash the pad with EDIX lambskin/merino detergent. A sample lesson is included with the pad.
