At Best Ever Pads, we get a lot of phone calls asking: “What is the right pad for my horse?” With over 30 years of experience in the industry, Ryan and Tammy White have created each pad collection with your horse in mind. No matter their body style or conformation, you are sure to find the perfect fit for each of your horses in a Best Ever Pad.
Today, we are helping you find the correct pad for a high withered horse. Each horse is different, and requires a different fit. Aside from having naturally high withers, as a horse ages, their withers can become even more pronounced. This makes it even more crucial to provide them with the support that they require.
For a high withered horse, we normally fit them with a Cadillac pad, part of the CEO Collection. The Cadillac series comes in various thicknesses, with many added perks. It includes a 3/8″ closed-cell foam insert throughout the bars of the saddle, and an additional 1/4″ closed-cell foam insert placed strategically over the shoulders.
It helps the pad from collapsing in the area behind the shoulders by offering extra support. The additional inserts in the Cadillac pad give the horse some additional space in the gullet area and doesn’t break down on the withers.
