{"product_id":"km-elite-high-wither-half-pad-black-natural","title":"High Wither Half Pad Black-Natural","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe High Wither Half Pad Black-Natural is a premium Merino wool saddle pad designed to relieve pressure at the withers while promoting airflow and a secure, comfortable fit.. Wither relief design: Clear, elevated spine swept up at the wither to minimise pressure points and improve overall saddle contact.. Premium materials: Made from 100% Merino lambswool (tanalised with no harmful chemicals) paired with our signature 100% cotton quilted fabric for durability and softness.. Breathable and moisture management: Fully breathable; Merino fibres wick moisture efficiently, holding up to 40 times their weight to keep the horse cool in summer and warm in winter.. Comfort and circulation: Natural sheepskin contact supports muscle relaxation and promotes better blood flow for longer, more comfortable rides.. Colour and finish: Classic Black with natural Merino wool, a versatile look that complements a wide range of saddlery.. Sizes: Small (up to 16\"), Medium (17\"–17.5\"), Large (up to 18\").. Care and maintenance: Remove hair, dirt and dried sweat with a stiff brush; lightly condition lambswool with a hair conditioner. Machine wash at 30 °C on a cool\/wool cycle or hand wash with non-bio detergent; reshape cotton fabric after washing and air dry away from heat. Do not tumble dry. Avoid strong fabric conditioners. Note: in rare cases dye from black wool may react with sweat and stain grey coats.. Designed for riders who value a thoughtful blend of comfort, function and care, this half pad supports the horse’s back while providing breathable, moisture-wicking performance across seasons. It’s ideal for riders seeking enhanced wither relief during schooling, long trots, or endurance training, and for horses that benefit from a soft, consistent contact that minimises weight transfer and heat build-up. Compared with standard pads, the High Wither Half Pad offers targeted support where it matters most, helping to reduce fatigue and promote a more relaxed, responsive ride.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KM Elite","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":58661030560089,"sku":"R1BNS","price":70.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":58661030592857,"sku":"R1BNM","price":70.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":58661030625625,"sku":"R1BNL","price":70.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/1405\/1417\/files\/279_1_33df75f6ad20465eb3ed779522a2160a_116b3fa3-b0dc-422a-9d0d-da08317024fd.jpg?v=1784818062","url":"https:\/\/www.saddlemasters.co.uk\/products\/km-elite-high-wither-half-pad-black-natural","provider":"Saddle Masters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
