Eliminate saddle roll and protect your horse’s back with a pad engineered specifically for the high-impact demands of the barrel pattern. This high-performance pad combines a specialized pocketed bar system with elite shock absorption to ensure your saddle stays secure while your horse stays comfortable through every turn.

The Professional’s Choice Precision Relief Deluxe (DLX) Pad is a masterpiece of equestrian engineering, utilizing 100% wet-pressed virgin wool felt that is both soft and incredibly resilient against compression. By integrating a premium Merino wool fleece lining and a tapered bar design, this pad offers a close-contact feel that enhances rider communication while providing the cooling, moisture-wicking properties necessary for peak athletic performance.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Pocketed Bar System: Reduces thickness from 1 1/8" to 3/4" exactly where the saddle bars sit, allowing the saddle to "cradle" into the pad for a lower, more stable fit.
• SMx Air Ride Technology: Features a 1/4" core integrated into the bar area to provide elite shock absorption and pressure relief during high-speed maneuvers.
• Barrel-Specific Dimensions: Designed at 29" x 30" with a shorter, rounded profile to perfectly accommodate barrel racing saddles without interfering with the horse's hip or loin.
• Deluxe Merino Lining: Outfitted with a premium Merino wool fleece bottom for superior moisture-wicking and cooling compared to standard felt pads.
• Close-Contact Cutouts: Specialized cutouts located under the genuine leather wear leathers allow the rider’s leg to sit closer to the horse for more precise cues.
• Contoured Spine with Channel: Anatomically shaped to follow the horse's topline, featuring a dedicated channel to promote airflow and prevent heat buildup along the spine.
• 100% Virgin Wool Felt: Constructed from wet-pressed wool that remains pliable yet highly resistant to "bottoming out," ensuring long-term durability and protection.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Will this pad help prevent my saddle from rolling during tight turns?
A: Yes. The "pocketed bar system" allows the saddle bars to sit deeper into the pad, creating a more secure foundation that significantly reduces the tendency for the saddle to shift or roll during high-speed runs.

Q: Can this pad be used on horses with high withers?
A: Absolutely. The pad features an anatomically contoured spine and a dedicated wither relief opening, ensuring it clears the withers and follows the horse's natural topline without bunching or pulling down.
