Frequently Asked QuestionsHow does the SMX Air Ride core provide superior shock absorption and comfort?The SMX Air Ride core utilizes a specialized material developed for professional human athlete protective gear. This advanced technology effectively absorbs up to 90% of impact and shock, distributing pressure evenly across your horse's back. This significantly reduces pressure points, protects sensitive areas like the spine, and lessens muscle fatigue, allowing your horse to remain comfortable and perform optimally throughout any discipline.How does the "Comfort-Fit" and "Hourglass" design improve saddle fit and prevent slipping?Our unique Hourglass, Comfort-Fit design is specifically engineered to contour naturally to your horse's spine and back conformation. This ensures a snug, non-slip fit that prevents the pad from bunching, rolling, or shifting during movement. It accommodates various back shapes, including those with prominent withers, providing maximum contact and stability between the saddle and your horse for a secure, balanced ride.What makes this pad effective for temperature regulation and breathability?The innovative SMX Air Ride core isn't just for shock absorption; its unique, open-cell structure promotes exceptional airflow. This creates a natural cooling system that actively dissipates heat, reducing your horse's core body temperature. By preventing overheating, it significantly slows the rate of fatigue, allowing your horse to maintain peak performance and comfort even in warmer conditions or during strenuous activity.What are the materials used, and how do they contribute to moisture wicking and durability?The Professional's Choice Comfort-Fit SMX Air Ride Pad features a durable 100% wool Navajo top, renowned for its strength and classic aesthetic. The interior incorporates the innovative Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) SMX Air Ride core, and typically a soft, moisture-wicking blend lining (often including Merino wool) against the horse's skin.
