SaddleRight Western Pad - Vegas

SaddleRight® Orthopedic Pads Science-Backed Protection & Performance

SaddleRight was founded in 1984 by Dr. Mike Freeman, a chiropractor and kinesiologist who dedicated his career to solving equine back soreness, muscle atrophy, and nerve damage. Realizing that traditional padding often compressed under load and trapped heat—which accelerated muscle shutdown—Dr. Freeman spent years researching materials alongside veterinarians to create the industry’s first true orthopedic saddle pad. Handcrafted in the USA using 100% natural pressed wool felt and premium glove or suede leathers, SaddleRight pads feature a unique, anatomically contoured design that offers distinct spine, wither, and lumbar relief. The slim, close-contact profile naturally eliminates the need for bulky shimming, ensuring optimal saddle fit and allowing equine athletes to move with complete freedom.  

What sets SaddleRight completely apart from conventional gear is its proprietary, medical-grade core material. Unlike memory foam, gel, or air bladders that degrade and cause shifting pressure points, this advanced core actively absorbs high-impact shock, dissipates heat, and encourages damaged back muscles to regenerate and rebuild. Engineered to flex and recoil fluidly with the horse's natural stride, the core is so resilient that it carries a lifetime warranty against compression. Whether utilizing the standard 5/8-inch thickness for daily arena work or upgrading to the rugged 3/4-inch Legacy core for heavy ranching and roping, riders across every discipline trust SaddleRight to provide an heirloom-quality barrier that keeps their horses healthy, comfortable, and performing at their absolute best.
