Cavallo Total Comfort System Saddle Pads are designed to promote even distribution of weight to the weight-bearing longissimus dorsi muscles along either side of the horse's backbone; to keep weight off the horse's spine; and to allow room for the horse's scapula to move properly within the narrow confines of the saddle.

Our Tri-Density Solution, combined with fine finishing details including genuine leather butt joints, nylon bindings and aeration perforations, provides the Ultimate in Saddle Pads, benefiting both horse and rider!

• Open cell memory foam contracts where the fit is tight, fills space where the fit is loose.
• Space along the pad center enhances the saddle gullet and protects the horse's backbone.
• Layered foam construction is highly shock-absorbent.
• A thinner pad creates more room for articulation of the horse's scapula during riding movements.

 

1. Patented Nitrex Closed-Cell Foam: Non-PVC foam that has low resilience and low penetration value, resulting in excellent shock absorption, insulation, cushioning and rebound (G-value energy return). Far superior to traditional foams.

2. Open-Cell Memory Foam to enhance saddle fit:

3. New Zealand Merino Wool : The finest wool is blended with a small proportion of a special bi-component low-melt polyester fibre. This intimate blend of fibres is carded and consolidated into a dense material. The resulting cloth is then heat-bonded to enhance dimensional stability, durability and abrasion resistance.

Shock absorbent: it's not shocking!

• Saves the backs of both horse and rider
• Promotes blood circulation (the slow release memory of the open cell foam creates a gentle massaging action on the horse's muscle structure)

Improves saddle fit: Fit for Excellence!

• Contracts at pressure points, fills gaps
• Redistributes weight off spine and onto muscle
• Enhances the saddle gullet (protecting the spine)
• Cutback allows wither relief
• More comfort for a saddle which fits perfectly
• Allows one saddle to be used on multiple horses
• Compensates for the changing horses back (different levels of conditioning, natural development over the season and development over the horse's lifetime)

Thin : Thin is important!

• 3 different material densities creates a thinner pad with greater shock absorption than a pad twice as thick
• allows more room for free movement of the scapula (shoulder blade)

Reversible : Effective & Stylish

• New Zealand wool on one side, closed cell shock absorbing foam on the other
• Use either side against the horse; it's your personal preference!

Durable

• So tough it can be pressure washed!

Lightweight and Breathable

• Light in ounces, heavy in performance!

Have you noticed any of the following saddle fit problems?

Uneven saddle construction: Like a pair of human shoes, even good saddles may have slightly uneven construction.

• Trees are often asymmetrical.
• Stirrup bars may be placed unevenly.
• Panels may be stuffed unevenly, displacing the gullet or creating lumps or bumps.
• Wool flocking changes shape over time.

One or more of these irregularities may result in an uneven saddle fit.

Off-centered Seat: In order to compensate for an off-centered seat, a horse may twist its body. Whatever the cause, the result is an uneven saddle fit:

Asymmetry of the horse's body: Horses (like humans!) may develop differently on their left and right sides. For example, a short or long leg may cause uneven musculature in the shoulders or muscle sling supporting the rib cage:

Changes in the horse's musculature:
Bodies change and develop. A horse's musculature will change throughout the riding day (as the horse tires) and over the season (as the horse ages, develops, tones or loses muscle mass). These changes effect the way the saddle fits the horse.
