Made with the same unique foam as the original Cushion pads, Swayback Cushion Pads are designed to aid in providing optimal comfort and protection as well as to help adjust the fit of your saddle against the horse. With a 1-1/2" center that tapers to 3/4" in the front and back, the Swayback Cushion Pad helps keep the saddle from riding on the horse’s shoulder and loin by filling in the hollow area on the back of a swayback horse.
