HORZEHOODS® Black Shims AirGel Correction Pad Dressage

Shims AirGel Correction Pad – Designed for Saddle Shims

Introducing our new Shims AirGel Correction Pad, an upgrade from our previous AirMesh design. Developed for a wide range of horse and rider combinations, this innovative correction saddle pad is designed to accommodate saddle shims while providing a practical all-in-one solution for your riding setup.

Our new saddle pad combines our usual security straps with our innovative AirGel Technology, helping to keep your saddle pad securely in place while also keeping your shims positioned correctly. No more juggling multiple pads or worrying about your shims moving – everything you need is incorporated into one convenient shim saddle pad.

We have designed the pad with a deeper saddle patch to provide additional space for shims, alongside four separate shim compartments, each secured with Velcro to help keep your shims firmly in position. During our testing phase, this design proved particularly beneficial in helping to keep the shims secure and correctly positioned, providing a more practical solution for riders who use correction shims as part of their saddle setup.

Designed with both practicality and performance in mind, the Shims AirGel Correction Pad is an ideal choice for riders looking for a shim-friendly horse saddle pad that combines saddle security, organised shim storage and a streamlined all-in-one design.
