This pad is designed to assist in fitting a saddle to a horse who experiences bridging across their back because of a lower than typical curve. Did you know a swaybacked horse can be young and underdeveloped, short coupled, or an older horse?

When a horse has a dropped back, he needs pad support to fill in the gaps between his back and the saddle tree to help distribute the rider's weight to eliminate pressure points.  Help eliminate bridging with the 1" thick foam core in the center and tapers on each end to level the saddle from front to rear and fill in all the voids.
