{"product_id":"tough1-western-shim-saddle-pad-with-neoprene-bottom","title":"Tough1 Western Shim Saddle Pad with Neoprene Bottom","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDraft saddle fit isn't always simple. Broad, flat backs and wide shoulders mean even a Western saddle labeled \"draft\" or \"wide\" can bridge, rock, or leave gaps. This budget-friendly shim pad gives you a way to fine-tune the fit you have, adding support right where your saddle and your horse don't quite meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSix shim pockets let you add or remove the included 1\/2\" felt shims wherever you need them. Fill in a gap where the saddle bridges, lift the front if it sits low over the withers, or even out the back if it tips. It won't fix a saddle that's truly the wrong shape, but it can smooth out a lot of the small fit issues drafts are known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe pad is built in layers: a 1\/2\" neoprene bottom, a 1\/4\" felt center, and a water-repellent canvas top with wear leathers. The neoprene grips well, so the saddle stays put, and it hoses off easily between rides. The trade-off is that neoprene doesn't breathe much, so it can run sweaty on hot days. Use it on its own or under a saddle blanket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 31\" x 32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeoprene bottom: 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFelt center: 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShims: 1\/2\" felt, six pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShim saddle pad with six removable felt shims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tough1","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49335321624746,"sku":"31-1012-2-0","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3597\/7898\/files\/31-1012-2a.jpg?v=1790371247","url":"https:\/\/www.drafthorsetack.com\/products\/tough1-western-shim-saddle-pad-with-neoprene-bottom","provider":"Essentially, Drafts | Draft Horse Tack \u0026 Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
