This back pad can be used directly on the horse's back. This perforated "Therapeutic Soft Gel" allows skin breathing and keeps the contact with the saddle pad. It is non toxic, antibacterial and odour-stop. The contours are "ready to cut", which allows this back pad to fit your horse's morphology and your saddle shape, it releases the wither part and frees the shoulders. Dri-Lex® fabric lining: a synthetic fibre combination with a double layer of hydrophobic nylon and absorbent polyester. The sweat is absorbed and evacuated; the skin breathes and stays dry and comfortable. 30°C machine washable.
