FEATURES, CONSTRUCTION & WARRANTY

Features

21% lower average pressure during a ride compared to a wool fleece pad.

Saddle sinks into squish foam to absorb the horse's movements and offers a comfortable "back-friendly" experience to rider.

Open spine channel removes contact from the spine.

Hidden pockets allow for fitting shim kit (sold separately). Scroll down to add to cart.

Material compresses 70% to maintain a close contact feel.

Interchangeable wither strap allows proper fit for many wither shapes.

Construction

Inner panels are made of 2 layes of squish foam, with a thin wool felt pad in the center. This creates a "squish sandwich" that provides rider comfort and horse protection at the same time.

Outer fabric is built from quilted microfiber on top to prevent the pad from sliding around.  Medical fleece is used on the bottom to be as soft as possible. 

Returns & Warranty

Use it for 90 days, and return it USED for a full refund (no fees) if you don't love it.

1 year manufacturer warranty.

Impact Absorption

This might sound a little crazy, but the "impact" to a horse's back while riding is actually quite low... we know this because we measured it. Many brands attempt to solve impact absorption with dense impact foams and plastics, but they are solving the wrong problem. This is because the PSI exerted over a horse's back is typically only in the 2-4 PSI range (which is low). For perspective, an adult will exert over 10 PSI on the ground while walking.

 

The data shows that the way to make a horse comfortable and protect against soreness is to dampen all the small movements under the saddle, similar to the shocks in your car that soak up all the imperfections in the road to make a smooth ride.

 

This is what the squish panels do. They dampen the movements to make for a more comfortable ride for horse and rider. This softening is very obvious for horses or riders with sensitive backs.

Pressure Distribution 

When you place a saddle on the squishy panels, it sinks into the pad deeper at the highest pressure points. This characteristic works to fill in the gaps under the saddle to even out the pressure.

 

In addition to the squish foam, the inner felt panels act as a diffuser to further even out saddle pressure.

Spine & Wither Protection

Every saddle fitter will agree that there should not be any pressure on a horse's spine or withers. The SQUISH Pad has two features that make sure your horse is safe.

 

First, the entire spine channel is elevated and open to keep the spine completely free and ventilated.

 

Second, the front of the pad is built with an adjustable wither system that enables it to be setup in three configurations: low wither, high wither and wither freedom. This ensures the pad contours perfectly to your horse's unique topline.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the pad made of?

The outer pad material is microfiber on top, which grips to the saddle and prevents slipping. The bottom is a soft medical grade fleece for a delicate touch to the horse.

Does it add bulk under my saddle?

The squish material in the pad compresses by approx. 70% when in use. Even though it looks thick, it adds the same thickness as a traditional sheepskin pad.

How do I clean the SQUISH Pad?

Remove the inner squish panels via the zippers and hand wash the pad in warm water. Air dry.

What's the difference between the jump and dressage styles?

The jump style has a more forward cut at the front to match the forward flap of a jump saddle, while the dressage style is straight at the front to match a straight dressage flap.

Is it shimmable?

Yes. Scroll down on this page or click here to purchase compatible shims.
