Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this pad the right size for my Western saddle?
A: The 33" x 38" footprint is ideal for standard to large-skirted Western saddles. For the best fit and to prevent the saddle from rubbing the horse’s coat at the edges, ensure your saddle skirt is at least 2-3 inches shorter than the pad (approximately 30"-32" max).

Q: How does the steam-pressed felt hold up compared to synthetic materials?
A: Unlike synthetic blends, our 100% steam-pressed wool felt maintains its density and shock-absorbing properties over time, offering superior compression resistance and natural moisture-wicking that synthetics simply cannot match.
