Measuring a pad

  • Spine: along the top edge, front to back.
  • Drop: from the spine straight down to the bottom edge.
  • Pick a pad that shows an inch or two all around the saddle.
  • Lift the pad up into the gullet before you girth up so it doesn't press on the withers.

Sizes vary by brand, so check the spine and drop on each product. Not sure? Use Ask a question and we'll help.

Questions, answered

Do I use a half pad by itself?

No. A half pad goes on top of your regular saddle pad, under the saddle, to add cushion or absorb shock.

What does a riser or shim pad do?

It lifts the low end of the saddle so it sits level. A rear riser lifts the back, a wither pad lifts the front, and a correction pad with shims lets you adjust front and back.

Will a half pad fix a saddle that doesn't fit?

It can help with small fit issues, but it can't make a saddle that is too narrow fit. If in doubt, have your saddle checked by a saddle fitter.

Can I return it?

Yes. Regularly priced items can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of purchase if they are new and unused, with original tags and packaging (domestic orders, $30 minimum). Sale and discounted items are final sale. See our Shipping & Returns page for details.
