A remarkable new super shock absorbing material. Use the same pad for work and the show ring, just cover with a Navajo style blanket. Made of black closed cell foam that will not heat up the back. Size 1" thick in the front and tapers down to 1/2" in the back. Helps level the saddle on hard to fit horses. 30"x 30" will fit the 26 inch skirts on the Dale Chavez saddles.
