Our “SHEEPSKIN” gel pad is distinguished by the therapeutic shock absorption and non-slip properties of its molded gel pad, enhanced by the added softness of the full lambskin backing. The gel effectively prevents any unwanted movement of the saddle, both forwards and backwards, as well as sideways. This is a real advantage when the saddle tends to rotate on rounder-shaped horses.
The saddle is embedded in a luxurious lambskin with a gel pad, which ensures the ultimate good look.
Lambskin is a natural material. It does not trigger allergies, is very soft and delicate, and is perfect for preventing chafing, abrasions, and blisters.
The pad is shaped to fit the saddle. A slightly thinner layer of gel runs through the center of the pad, preventing pressure on the withers and spine. It is therefore a very useful pad for any Icelandic horse.
