What makes the SQUISH Pad amazing?
- Description
- Product Reviews
The SQUISH Pad™ comes with an adjustable spine channel and wither height, but the real difference in feel comes from the squish foam impact dampening panels.
The SQUISH Pad feeling is so distinct, you will notice it in the first minute. The squish foam is an industry-first saddle dampening system designed to protect both horse and rider's back by softening the harsh movements of the saddle.
After you've dialed in your SQUISH Pad™ to match your horse's topline and barrel shape, you'll place your saddle on top of the industry-first saddle dampening system. This allows you to feel your horse, while protecting your horse's back from the shifting, bouncing or impinging of the saddle.
Does your back get tight or sore after rides? The SQUISH Pad™ can help.
Does your saddle slide or shift during your ride? The SQUISH Pad™ can help.
Does your saddle fit perfectly? The SQUISH Pad™ will still bring a softer contact over the surface of the saddle.
The SQUISH Pad™ is one of those pieces of tack you have to test to understand how profound of a difference it makes. The feeling is so distinct, you will notice it in the first minute. And if you don't feel the difference is worth it, you're welcome to return it for a full refund within 90 days :)
It uses a unique construction style that allows for all of these amazing features, while keeping it as traditional looking as possible. The underside that touches the horse is made from 1/2" 100% wool felt, with a radius cut along the front to contour around the horse's shoulder. The top of the pad is made of two layers of laminated marine-grade carpet. This gives a soft-to-the-touch feel, while creating a resilient sweat/sun resistant structure to hold the squish foam panels.
If you need extra saddle fit help, the SQUISH Pad™ also has an available fitting shim kit. The shim kit is sold separately (scroll to the bottom of this page to add it to your cart).
