Tuffrider Jumping Gel Pads are injection molded from high-quality Thermoplastic TPE Gel with thoughtfully engineered ventilation holes. These non-slip gel pads offer a unique airflow system for breathability and have the required thickness to reduce pressure and provide impaction protection. The shape of the pads provides safe protection to the wither and back. These pads can be used directly on the horse's back or over a saddle pad. Machine washability makes these pads easy care and maintenance free.
