Wade Pad Features
100% Wool Felt top and bottom: The wool felt we are using now is 100% wool and is the best we have ever used.
Shaped to the horses back: Our pads are shaped to match a horse's back and will conform to fit individual horse and saddle combinations.
Vented Channel down the center of the pad: This is probably the biggest advantage our pads have over other popular saddle pads on the market. The channel down the top center reduces pressure on the spine of the horse while ventilation holes punched down the center allow for heat to escape.
Layer of closed cell foam: We can make a solid wool felt pad if custom ordered, but our standard pads have a layer of closed cell foam in between the bottom layer of wool felt and the center core. This blocks sweat from getting up into the core making it easier to keep clean and also provides extra shock absorption.
Constructed in layers: We make our pads in layers with a layer of wool felt on top and bottom with a center core in the middle. This creates the channel down the center of the pad and also reduces bulk underneath your legs resulting in better contact with your horse.
Custom options are nearly endless. We have our standard patterns and sizes, but we can make you a pad however you want it. Don't hesitate to inquire about ideas you might have.
