Competition Shim Saddle Pad with removable shims and a neoprene bottom
The Tough1 Competition Shim Saddle Pad is a Western shim pad made with neoprene bottom. It measures 29″ x 17″, 1/2″ thick, which suits most adult Western saddles.
Start with the shims out, saddle up, and add shims only where you see a gap between the saddle and the horse’s back. Order by 11 am CST and in-stock items ship within 48 business hours.
Removable shimsSix removable 1/2″ shims slide in or out to fine-tune fit where a saddle bridges or rocks.
Neoprene bottomA neoprene underside adds cushion and grip so the pad stays in place.
Contoured shapeCut to follow the curve of the horse’s back, so the pad sits flat instead of tenting over the withers.
Wear leathersWear leathers protect the pad where the fenders and stirrup leathers rub.

Questions & answers
What size pad do I need?
Answered by The Connected RiderMost adult Western saddles use a 31″ to 32″ pad, barrel and round skirt saddles a 28″ to 30″ pad, and youth and pony saddles a smaller pad. The pad should show an inch or two in front of and behind the saddle all around.
How do shims work?
Answered by The Connected RiderShim pads have pockets for inserts. Add shims where the saddle bridges or leaves gaps, such as behind the withers, to level it and spread pressure evenly.
How do I care for a felt pad?
Answered by The Connected RiderBrush off hair after riding and let the pad air dry hair side up. Rinse with a hose when it gets crusty, but never put it in a washer or dryer.

Fit guide
Western saddle pad sizes and fit
| Pad size | Usually fits |
|---|---|
| 19"–26" | Mini, youth and pony saddles |
| 28"–30" | Barrel, round skirt and short saddles |
| 31"–32" | Most adult Western saddles |
| 32"–34" | Long-skirted ranch and roping saddles |
How to measure
- Your saddle: lay it upside down and measure the skirt from the front edge to the back edge. Choose a pad 1" to 2" longer.
- Pad size: sizes are listed length x width, like 31" x 32". Length runs front to back along the spine. Width runs edge to edge over the spine, so each side drops about half the width.
- Thickness: measure at the edge of the pad, not at a wear leather or insert.
A good fit
- Size: the pad should show an inch or two in front of and behind the saddle and below the skirts all around.
- Withers: lift the pad up into the saddle's gullet before cinching so it does not press on the withers.
- Thickness: 3/4" to 1" felt suits most saddles. Too thick a pad can make a saddle fit tighter.
- Shims: shim pads with inserts help level a saddle on a horse with hollows or high withers.
