Technical saddle pad for treeless saddles with corrective system
The Ghost long flap saddle pad is the standard structural accessory designed to perfectly fit all long flap or English-style Ghost saddle models (such as the Universal and Long Flap models), excluding the western skirt version. Due to its exceptional quality and versatility, this item is frequently purchased and used on other saddle brands or on traditional treed saddles.
Its shape features a deep length, specifically designed to cover the entire girth strap area. This design drastically reduces the risk of pinching, sores, and rubbing on the horse's skin during movement.
Technical materials and benefits
- Airshell fabric top: a highly breathable alveolar technical material provided as standard, which facilitates continuous air circulation, quickly dissipating heat accumulated under the saddle.
- Bottom material (available options for the base in contact with the hair):
- Shaved wool: the standard option that ensures soft, natural, and hygienic contact on the horse's back, offering excellent sweat absorption and pressure relief.
- Sympanova: a soft rubber, very easy to clean and highly breathable.
- Wool blend: available in white or black colors.
- Vella synthetic lambskin: a soft and comfortable synthetic lining.
- Medicinal sheepskin: a premium finish, which can be ordered either as a full version for long flaps or positioned exclusively under the pockets.
- Correction and protection system for the spine
This saddle pad is an active element for the well-being of stabled or trail riding horses, essential for the fit of treeless saddles:
- Easy-open pockets: positioned on both sides, they allow quick access for inserting or adjusting shims.
- Foam inserts included: the saddle pad comes complete with foam panels that create the central spinal channel. This system ensures full spinal clearance and allows for additional shimming to perfectly balance the saddle according to the horse's conformation.
- Technical guidelines for balancing:
- With a medicinal sheepskin bottom, the use of 1 cm inserts is recommended, unless the rider's weight exceeds 185 lbs (approx. 84 kg).
- With other bottom materials, the use of 1 cm inserts is recommended, unless the rider's weight exceeds 165 lbs (approx. 75 kg) or the horse's spine is already structurally well protected.
Available sizes (overall dimensions)
