Once you feel how much better your horse can travel under you when you tuck just one of our TAPERED FOAM SHIMS into each side of your saddle pad, you’ll know why we recommend never riding without them! Our research has yielded evidence of this conclusively for more than 15 years. The shape and consistency of our soft-but-resilient closed cell FOAM SHIMS has proven to facilitate the re-development of damaged muscle as well as the efficient use of healthy tissue. The thicker portion of each SHIM provides the “lifting” power to keep saddle pressure off the working shoulders and custom-connect the horse better with the saddle where needed, while the tapered portion transitions into the horse’s body so that the connection feels smooth.
