The ENGLISH JUMPING PAD is trimmed to minimum size for the demands of a jumping saddle. The plates give the horse maximum impact comfort, because they lateralize any rider pressure. The plates are positioned one on each side of the spine, to give maximum spine clearance. The underside is lined with 80 per cent wool and 20 per cent acrylic to give the padding strength. The whole pad is perforated to keep the back cool. .
