The Kush Collection is made from 100% high-quality, F11 grade washed and pressed wool that is 136 oz. per square yard. The Best Ever Pads 860005000000 Kush Saddle Pad is durable and resistant to compression, yet soft and flexible. The properties of this pad allow it to absorb moisture, which aides in removing heat from the horse's back. This riding saddle pad is light gray in color, and comes in 1.25, 1 or 3/4 thickness options. The cushion's pressed wool is made via an intricate process often referred to as 'wet processing'. The fibers are worked together by pressure, moisture, and vibration, then carded and cross-lapped to make multiple layers of material. The ultimate thickness and density of the material determines the number of layers that are then steamed, wetted, pressed and hardened.
