I have been showing at the Iowa County Fair for 10 years and the Wisconsin State Fair for six years. I am excited to represent Iowa County and canât wait to see everyone at the 160th Iowa County Fair.
There are so many âcorrectiveâ pad options available nowadays, and there are a few different types that serve specific purposes very effectively. The pads we are covering in this article are most focused on protecting a horseâs back and improving saddle fit, which helps narrow the field. The three most useful are foam topped pads (ie Thinline), Sheepskin pads, and shim pads.
A CAIR paneled saddle has foam blocks in the panels of the saddle (the part that rests upon the horse's back along each side of the spine.). The foam blocks are filled with air holes, which allows air to circulate through the cushion as the horse moves and as the rider sits and posts, etc. CAIR saddle has air in the panels instead of the normal flock. CAIR allows the horses muscles to move more fluidly. Flock is the normal traditional material used for stuffing the panels. Source(s): http://www.cairpanelsystem.com/.
