The Wintec Raised Front Comfort Pad is ideal for everyday use and very advantageous in high shock situations, such as jumping, endurance, polo, cross country and extended sitting trot sessions. This pad provides a high level of comfort and trauma-reduction while assisting in balancing a saddle that needs to be lifted at the front. New in package, only tried on once. Does not work with my saddle and too late to return. From a smoke-free home. Please ask questions if you have them!
