Using the same technology as the Gel-Eze™ bandage, Equine Management has been able to perforate the pads allowing air-flow to reduce the over-heating that similar products generate. The overall weight is less than half of some other pads. Protects areas where damage could be caused by ill-fitting saddles. The use of the pad in direct contact with the saddle offers superb non-slip qualities and can be cut to fit smaller sizes of saddles.
