Description
These high quality half pads are made from 100% natural Australian merino lambskin - the wool is much denser and softer than the older sheep's wool used in many competing numnahs. The spine is raised at the withers, reducing pressure on the spine and allowing air to circulate. Half pads are the best selling because they can be used with any saddle. They can be used on a thin cotton square or directly on the horse's back.
The button slots on the front edge allow them to be combined with all LeMieux D-ring saddle pads. This combination allows the use of the standard velcro girth for the saddle pads. This combination means that the standard velcro straps on the half pad can be removed if desired.
