Shires Gel Pad

These are perfect for horses with sensitive backs, especially those dealing with issues like kissing spine. You just slip them between your numnah and saddle, and they do wonders.

The gel sticks right to the leather of your saddle, so once they’re in place, they’re not going anywhere. No slipping, no sliding – just a comfy ride for you and your horse.

Now, here’s the thing: make sure you’ve got enough room under your saddle for extra padding. You don’t want your saddle fit to be too tight. It’s like wearing two pairs of socks with shoes that already fit well – it’s just not gonna work.

But hey, adding a little extra comfort to your saddle fit is always a good idea, and these gel pads can definitely help with that. So why not give them a try? Your horse will thank you for it.

Why should you consider getting a Shires Gel Pad?

Well, let me tell you, these things can take your saddle from good to great. The gel they use is nonslip, so once you’ve got it in place, it’s not going anywhere. And let me tell you, that’s a game-changer. No more slipping and sliding around, making your ride more uncomfortable than it needs to be.

Plus, the shock-absorbing properties of this gel make it a hit with showjumpers and eventers alike. You just pop it between your numnah and saddle, and you’re good to go.

But here’s the kicker: the gel pad is perforated, so it lets air flow through, keeping your horse’s back cool and comfortable. Perfect for those sensitive backs out there.

Now, before you go throwing this bad boy under your saddle, make sure to check with your saddle fitter. You want to make sure it’s not going to mess with your saddle fit.

But trust me, once you’ve got a Shires Gel Pad, you won’t want to ride without it.
