DESIGN
& CONSTRUCTION
The 5 Star Contoured Pad is the original Western contour pad
with "a true French Curve backline and withers slope." Special attention
is given to wither height, backline variance and hip placement which results
in a GREAT FITTING PAD that conforms to the shape of your horse
or mule. This conscious effort in design has produced a pad
that fits most breeds of horses and mules without "break-in" fitting.
Top
quality, pressed, high density 100% WOOL FELT is the base pad
component, with 5-6 oz. wear leathers on the sides and top line. This wool felt
is manufactured to strict specifications, using the highest quality virgin wool
(90%), blended with recombed wool (10%) which allows for the highest degree
of protection and economic benefit.
WHY USE WOOL? The unique structure of wool fiber allows it to
be pressed together with heat and steam to form a dense mat of FLEXIBLE,
RESILIENT and elastic fiber, called felt. This ALL-NATURAL
material has kinetic properties which enables it to ABSORB MOISTURE
and WICKS it to drier areas as the concentrations increase.
This wicking is what assists in HEAT REMOVAL.
Research
has proven that wool felt pads provide the BEST COMPRESSION PROTECTION
for properly or improperly fitted saddles.
IMPROVES
SADDLE FIT--NO MORE OVER-CINCHING! No
other pad or blanket is necessary with he 5 Star Contoured Saddle Pad. Double
padding creates movement and slippage. This slippage is usually compensated
for by overcinching. The contoured fit of our pads means a limited need for
cinching with minimal saddle movement. Square cut pads do not follow a horse's
back contour. This can
result in unnecessary pressure and improper saddle fit which may cause pain
and injury to your horse.

"I received my pad today. It is simply the best pad I have ever seen. Both myself and my horse love the pad. Thanks for your fast shipping!!"-DS, Mississippi
"Talena, It arrived just fine! I love it....exactly what I was looking for."-BB, Texas
"Hi Talena, the pads arrived today. Very quick in the post. They are great. I have been out on my horse trying it in the spring-sunshine and the saddle doesen't move a millimeter. I am very pleased. Thank you so much for the very nice communication during the deal. There might be others at my stable that would like to buy some too."-KE, Norway
"Talena, I just wanted to take a couple minutes to let you know I love my saddle pad. I put it on my horse and it fit immediately. I sold a S_R_ pad that everyone said I 'had to have' to get this saddle pad instead-and I tell you I like it so much better. It is more conforming to my horse's back and is not so stiff. So, just wanted to let you know I am very impressed! Thanks so much."-CG, New York
