The TuffRider GelX Airflow Shaped Rear Riser Pad is non-toxic, washable, reusable, and environmentally friendly. Lightweight and discreet with superb impact absorption, these pads prevent saddle slipping, reduce back injuries, and help alleviate pressure points. They come with comfort cushions only in the back to help reduce impact on the shoulders and withers. The cushion is positioned over the main weight-bearing area and helps distribute the rider's impact evenly and softly over the back. Ideal for all disciplines, especially jumping, it can be placed directly on the horse's back.
