Our Thin ImpacTeq Half Pads with Shims were designed with input from top riders and professional saddle fitters. The ImpacTeq construction provides a unique combination of comfort and protection for your horse's back, and our shims allow for an individualized fit for each horse. This shimmable half pad is an outstanding solution for correcting saddle fit, for riders who use one saddle on multiple horses, and for any horse whose back is changing - such as young horses and those returning to work after time off. 0.5" ThicknessA close-contact version of ourUltraWool ImpacTeq Half Pad, with the addition of shims Thin ImpacTeq CoreAbsorbs concussion using a carefully-selected, low profile open cell foam found in sports equipment and technical footwear Felt ShimsIncludes a complete set of 6mm felt shims (shoulder, center, and rear)- 6 total Discreet Pocket DesignThoughtfully placed to avoid unwanted bulk near the spine Highly BreathableMulti-dimensional air mesh layer promotes airflow and circulation Advanced Equine Back ProtectionDistributes and reduces harmful pressure points under the saddle Contoured ShapeProvides ample room for withers and spine Molds to Horse and SaddleRecovers to the original shape after each use UltraWool Styling (Black or Natural)Soft, plush trim is eye-catching and helps maintain saddle placement Non-Slip DesignGrippy strips on the underside help stabilize the pad for minimal movement AntimicrobialIncludes materials that discourage bacterial growth Easy CareWipes clean with a damp cloth
