Western Felt Wider Wither Pad

This riser is very thick. Arguably coed 1”. However, it worked beautifully for my saddle. It is long, as you can see from the pics, but that eliminated any pressure points. My horse’s back is impossible to fit, but this got my saddle fitting pretty darn well. It also didn’t slip at all while riding.If it’s too thick or long, it seems like it would be fairly easy to trim down to a smaller size if needed. I highly recommend!

Very nice quality. I like that it’s solid felt as opposed to the squishy foam type. This seems like it will last much longer than the foam type, in my experience the other ones wear down and stay flat after a while. This being solid felt feels like it holds its shape much better while still being soft enough to shape to your horse. Since it doesn’t squish down as much as the other style if you only need that little bit of added padding I would try to find a thinner one. My boy however has very high withers with a beefy shoulder. Fitting saddles for him to not have pressure on his withers bas been next to impossible, and the built up saddle pads never have padding in the right spot. This fixes that problem. It fills in the gaps by his withers and can be moved wherever you need it. I can tell he is much more comfortable riding now, he moves much more freely and happily on our trail rides.

It's a little longer flap and strap wise than the ones I've used in the past. That said it does work and seems to help since our saddle quit working for our horses shape.

Good thick extra support for high withered horse. Might be a little too thick for some peoples taste. If your horse doesn’t have extremely high withers, this might not work for you. It does make the saddle tilt back a little because of the thickness. It is definitely good quality, tho.

This shim is super thick. may work well for the right person and it is good quality however i felt it put more pressure on her shoulders rather than relieved pressure. She was more constricted with it on than without it.

Works great for my high withers horse!

Love this, it saved me from spending $450 on a new saddle!!! 10/10!!

I bought this for a downhill horse to have the saddle fit my level and it's way too thick. It's about an 1" thick of very dense felt. This would be better for an older horse with a lot of muscle wasting behind the withers.
