Professional's Choice SMx AirRide Orthosport Barrel Pad
Professional's Choice SMx AirRide Orthosport Barrel Pad
This pad combines the benefits of our breathable and shock-absorbent SMx Air Ride material with OrthoSport features to create an unrivaled barrel pad. Additional layers of SMx Air Ride material are strategically placed in the dished out areas behind the shoulders of horses with high withers and strong shoulders to create a greatly improved saddle fit from front to back. Additional layers of SMx Air Ride material are also added down each side of the spine to relieve pressure from the spine and kidney areas while allowing additional airflow along the horses back. SMx Air Ride Orthosport Saddle Pads come with a fleece or felt lining.
The felt lined version of this saddle pad has been discontinued by the manufacturer. These are the last ones available!
SMX AIR RIDE
The Professional’s Choice new and improved SMx Air Ride Saddle Pads feature a brand new core that provides 12% more energy absorption and 5% greater pliability, making them more comfortable than ever! This revolutionary pad works to protect your horse’s back by absorbing negative energy and dispersing it over the entire pad, preventing uncomfortable pressure points. In addition, this latest version of Air Ride technology now allows up to 50% more 3-D airflow to keep your horse cool, slowing the rate of fatigue.
The larger beads also allow for 12% more energy absorption and 5% more pliability; making this pad absorb more shock while protecting your horse’s back. Energy is spread over the whole pad, preventing uncomfortable pressure points.
Our new & improved Air Ride technology now allows up to 50% more 3-D airflow through the closed cell beading utilized in the pad, keeping your horse cool. The materials don’t absorb water, thus providing resistance to bacterial growth.
