The 5 Star Contoured Saddle Pad is the original Western contour saddle pad with "a true French Curve backline and withers slope." Special attention is given to wither height, backline variance and hip placement which results in a GREAT FITTING SADDLE PAD that conforms to the shape of your horse or mule. This conscious effort in design has produced a pad that fits most breeds of horses and mules without "break-in" fitting.
