Frequently Asked Questions

What is a swayback correction pad and how does it work?

A swayback correction pad fills the hollow area on a swayback horse's back to improve saddle fit. This pad uses hi-tech foam with a tapered design (2 inches center tapering to 0.75 inches front/back) to balance saddle pressure and prevent discomfort on shoulders and loin. It effectively fills the dip behind the withers and loin area.

Will this pad fit my western saddle?

The pad measures 28x30 inches, fitting most Western saddles for larger horses. Its full-coverage design allows it to be placed under the saddle and adjusted. If you have a very large or custom saddle, measure your saddle's footprint to ensure the pad covers the full bearing surface.

Can I use this pad with a thin saddle blanket?

Yes, the pad is designed to be ridden next to the horse or over a thin blanket or pad (1/4-inch felt liners recommended). Using a thin layer underneath can help wick moisture and prevent the pad from shifting. Avoid thick pads that would alter the pad's corrective shape.

How do I clean the swayback correction pad?

The hi-tech foam material can be hand washed with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or wring out. Regular cleaning will keep the pad fresh and maintain its supportive properties.

What size horses is this extra large pad suitable for?

The 28x30 inch size suits large horses (15.2 hands and above) with full-size Western saddles. For smaller horses (ponies or Arabs) the pad may be too large and could extend beyond the saddle. If your horse is under 14.2 hands, consider a smaller correction pad.

Is this pad only for swayback horses?

While primarily designed for swayback horses with hollow backs, this pad can also help horses with muscle atrophy behind the shoulder, conformational dips, or anyone needing extra fill in the middle back area. It improves saddle balance for many hard-to-fit horses.
