Does the high wither design offer specific benefits?

Troubleshooting
Pad feels damp after use
Ensure the pad is thoroughly air-dried after washing and before storage. Excessive moisture can reduce the wick-easy lining's effectiveness. Also, confirm the mesh spine is not obstructed.
Girth loops not holding securely
Check that the touch tape on the girth loops and the girth straps themselves are clean and free of debris. Ensure the touch tape is fully engaged.
Pad shifting during riding
Verify that the pad is correctly sized for your saddle and horse. Ensure the girth is appropriately tightened and that the saddle itself is balanced.
