"Treeless Saddle Pads

The unique feature of our treeless saddle pad is the front-loading foam inserts as shown protruding from the front of a round-skirt “Sport Saddle” pad. The only seam down the spine is the joining seam for the two sides, as the Velcro® closures for the foam pockets are located on the front edges of the pad. The foam panels lift the saddle off the spine leaving an air channel down the center of the pad. Foam inserts are available in ½", ¾", 1" and laminated thickness. The particular pad shown is fitted with a “Drytop” outer cover to allow heat and moisture to release between the saddle and pad.

Sending a photo tom@skito.net First I need to see a picture of the side view top line of your horse (s) without saddle or rider; please make sure the horse is standing still, on level ground with head up and all four feet showing against a good contrasting background. Second, I need to see an overhead picture from the rear that clearly shows the side to side contour of the back. And third, I need a side view picture of the rider in the current saddle that is being used on the horse standing still (please specify make, model and seat size of the current saddle).

See "Saddle Pad" page for color and fabric information.
Keeping inventory lean. The 80% Wool, 20% Polyester is an excellent choice.
The polyester fibers are knitted in with wool to add loft and keep the wool from matting.
The blend washes up beautiful and is durable. The wool is a yellowish tone and the blend is a cream tone.
All are machine washable, see washing instructions below.

The table below is showing the shape of the saddle pad. Most of the fabric patterns are not available.
The solid colors are available. Anti Slip strips can be added to your pad.

Increase pad longevity by keeping your pad clean.

Washing Instructions:

Remove foam inserts

Back fold the pad to expose the fleece or underside place in washer.

Use the minimal amount of soap, and double rinse to remove soap residue

I use about 3 tablespoons of detergent. (not woolite)

1/2 - 1 Cup of Baking Soda
Cool to warm (NOT HOT) water. NO BLEACH

I have been adding baking soda to help neutralize salts, leaves pad smelling fresh.
Baking Soda is gentle on clothing too. Google "cleaning with baking soda" you might be amazed.
Baking Soda at Costco...available in a huge bag for only $5.00

Cleaning Foam Insert:
Removing the salts will help keep the foam inserts working properly.
I use the following solution

2 Cups White Vinegar
2 - 3 gallons Warm Water (not hot)
1/2 - 1 Cup of Baking Soda

In a clear plastic tub (purchased from Costco of course)

Place foam in the warm water bath solution.

Compress and release the foam to work solution into the open-cells.

If foam remains stiff and not flexible then wash in a new solution.

* Foam inserts need to be replace when they are stiff and can not be compressed.

Rinse : Repeat process with clean water to remove salts and vinegar solution .

NEVER WRING THE FOAM AS IT WILL TEAR.

NEVER USE SOAP OR BLEACH TO CLEAN THE FOAM.

DOGS LOVE TO EAT THE FOAM. TRY TO KEEP IT OUT OF THEIR REACH.

If you tear the foam, don't cry...It can be replaced.

One method of Drying Foam Inserts.

I use Two Towels.

Sandwich foam in between the two towels

Roll it up like a cinnamon roll

Step on the roll from side by side, inch by inch

Insert into pad and Happy Trails.

Have questions, give me a call. Colleen
