All Relentless pads are a unique single-piece design which allows for a much more durable pad that has zero pressure points. Each pad is contoured to the shape of a horse’s back and features a wither relief cutout. The leather spine runs the full length of the pad and wraps completely around the cutout to reduce stress on the pad while providing long-lasting leather reinforcement. High-impact absorbing gel inserts run the length of the pad and are positioned right under the bars of a saddle. The gel evenly disperses the energy and stress created by hits and pressure during a barrel run. This pad features a bottom layer 1/4” of the purest wool felt available. This high-density, anti-microbial layer pulls heat and moisture away from your horse’s back and adds an extra layer of durability.
