Design & Construction: 5 Star's Contoured Pad is the ORIGINAL Western contoured saddle pad with a true French Curve back line and withers slope. Special attention is given to wither height, back line, variance and hip placement which results in a GREAT FITTING SADDLE PAD that CONFORMS to the shape of your horse or mule without "break-in fitting". 5 Star uses products that are naturally best for your equine friend. Improved Saddle Fit No extra pad or blanket is necessary with the 5 Star Contoured Saddle Pad. Double padding creates movement and slippage. This slippage is usually compensated for by over cinching. The contoured fit of our pads means a limited need for cinching with minimal saddle movement. Square cut pads do not follow a horse's back contour. This can result in unnecessary pressure and improper saddle fit which may cause pain and injury to your horse or mule. Why Use 5 Star Wool? The unique structure of wool fiber allows it to be pressed together with heat and steam to form a dense mat of FLEXIBLE, RESILIENT and ELASTIC fiber, called felt. This ALL-NATURAL material has kinetic properties which enables it to ABSORB MOISTURE and WICKS it to drier areas as the concentrations increase. This wicking is what assists in HEAT REMOVAL. (Research has proven that wool felt pads provide the BEST COMPRESSION for properly or improperly fitted saddles.
