The Endurance Pro pad is designed with a unique shape to complement the natural contour of the horse's back. Made with Moisture Management felt, which is 40% lighter than traditional filler felts, it's an excellent choice for hot climates to wick moisture and keep the horse cooler. The pad bar area has additional padding to give the horse more protection on long rides, while the lower parts are reduced in thickness to keep the Cascade's close contact feel. Soft fleece lines the wither area to further protect your horse from rubs. The tacky too bottom helps prevent slipping, is ventilated for better air flow, and is easy to keep clean. Made in USA.
