Skito Saddle Pads

There are over 1000 different patterns for Skito pads--one for every type of saddle out there--too many to show. Please call April (530-823-7321) for details and help designing one specifically for your needs.

The Skito Saddle pad is constructed to allow horses' backs to breathe; the pad spreads the rider's weight over a larger area thereby minimizing any pressure points. Because the weight of the rider is "equalized" over the entire saddle bearing area, this relieves or eliminates all saddle fit and pressure point problems.

The Skito Equalizer™ pad is recommended by most horse Chiropracters. Custom made to order for all saddle types. $160 - $235 depending on style and thickness of foam inserts needed. 100% wool underside against the horse is recommended. A must for any treeless saddle to eliminate slippage! They work great with not only Bob Marshall Treeless Saddles but all other saddles, treeless or not. "If you cannot yet switch to a treeless saddle, you MUST HAVE A SKITO PAD," says longtime trainer, April Battles. April uses Skito Saddle Pads on her long distance endurance rides of 50 miles or more in a day weighing in at 215 with tack!

The Equalizer™ Saddle Pad System by Skito is Patented w/ Removable Open-cell foam insert * The Skito saddle pad adsorbs over 90% of impact energy from all directions, providing more comfort and less fatigue for both the horse and it's rider.

Also available are removeable front & rear shims * center shims * bridging shims for sway back horses, and those with extra high withers.

The Equalizer foam breathes and passes water and water vapor, releasing irritating moisture and heat on the horse's back.

The Skito Pad makers have over 600 different patterns and can be made to fit not only the Sports Saddles but any conceivable saddle model, such as English, Aussie, SR Enduro, Barrel, Square or Round skirt Western saddles
