Product Information
Full details
The Horsena Jumping Gel Pad is designed for competitive and amateur riders who need to improve saddle stability and horse comfort without adding significant bulk. By providing superior shock absorption through an innovative 3D gel structure, it helps protect the horse's back and ensures a balanced fit, though users should note that the slim 4mm profile is intended for refined adjustments rather than significant corrective padding.

FAQs
Can this pad be used under a dressage saddle?
While it is marketed as a jumping pad, its anatomical design and low-profile nature make it suitable for any saddle type where improved grip and shock absorption are desired.
Is the material toxic if the horse chews it?
The material is non-toxic; however, you should prevent the horse from chewing on the pad to maintain its structural integrity.
Does the pad need to be worn against the horse's skin?
For best results, it can be used directly on the horse's back or between the saddle and a thin saddle cloth, depending on your preference for cleanliness and grip.
How do I machine wash this product?
Use a gentle wash cycle with cold or lukewarm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
Will this help if my saddle is too wide?
No, this pad is designed for shock absorption and stability, not for significant saddle fit correction. Consult a saddler if your saddle width is improper.
Troubleshooting
Saddle is slipping despite using the pad
Clean the gel pad thoroughly to remove dust and hair, as a buildup of surface contaminants can reduce the natural grip of the material.
Gel pad does not sit flat
Ensure the pad is placed symmetrically during tacking up; if it remains distorted, lay it on a flat surface at room temperature to allow the material to recover its shape.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the pad, place it directly onto the horse's back or underneath your saddle cloth, ensuring the anatomical shape aligns with the wither area. The pad is compatible with most jumping and general-purpose saddles without needing modifications. Maintenance is straightforward; the pad is machine washable using a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or high-heat drying methods to preserve the integrity of the gel cells. Regularly inspect the pad for debris, as the open-cell structure can trap dust, which may reduce its natural grip over time.
