Matrix Woolback Ortho
Impact Shim Pad
Protect your horse’s back as well as yours with the
technology of T3 Performance Pads. The T3 Matrix Barrel Shim Pad features
impact protection inserts with the ability to adjust the fit of your saddle. A
closely fitted pad prevents excess material from compromising the horse’s
natural range of motion. This full-sized pad accommodates dropped saddle
riggings at the front, with a contoured square that complements most
contemporary barrel saddle shapes. High quality genuine wear leathers protect
the pad against rubbing.

help compensate for saddle fit and asymmetrical muscle development.
