The PRO H77 TC Close Contact Pad is a marriage of material technology and innovative design to meet the needs of today’s competitors. This close contact pad was created to protect your horse while eliminating all unnecessary bulk so the rider can “feel” the horse. Built using all synthetic materials, the TC close contact pad starts with a layer of man-made chamois material next to the horse to provide moisture absorption and a non-slip grip. Then a layer of high density foam, exclusive to the TC pad, is fitted to protect the back where the bars of the saddle would contact the horse. The top layer is high abrasion resistant material the grips the saddle. Easily cared for – just hose off after each use. Ideal for cutters, reiners, and all those seeking a better “feel” for their equine athlete. Thickness of base layer 1/4", build up areas are 1/2" thick. Please Note: Black no longer available, now available only in brown.
