Skito Pad - in stock for all Barefoot English and Western saddles
click on image for enlarged view
The
unique feature of the Skito treeless saddle pad is the front-loading
foam inserts as shown protruding from the front of the pad. The only
seam down the spine is the joining seam for the two sides, as the Velcro®
closures for the foam pockets are located on the front edges of the pad.
The foam panels lift the saddle off the spine leaving an air channel
down the center of the pad. For Barefoot saddles we recommend 3/4"
firm foam inserts.

| Skito Dryback Pad for Tahoe, black; for Cheyenne, in brown |
The Dryback Skito pads offer the following features:
- Constructed to release heat and moisture from the large back muscle to the atmosphere. Air flows between the saddle and saddle pad thanks to the addition of 3M™ Nomad™ matting to the top of the saddle pad.
- The exclusive Skito wool fleece efficiently wicks the heat-laden perspiration to the open cell foam insert, which acts as a dense sponge pulling moisture and heat away from the animal to the surface of the pad.
- " In the past the heat and moisture stopped in the top layer of the saddle pad because the saddle became an obstacle to transpiration. The addition of Nomad™ matting enables air to flow under the saddle to evaporate the moisture and dissipate the heat normally trapped against the saddle.
Dryback Pads: all pads in stock are custom made for the individual Barefoot saddle model and come with ¾" firm foam inserts and 100 % wool lining. >> Review Order/Check Out Now <<
