The Solution system is designed to be used with balance pads where the horse’s back shape or conformation requires. Some well muscled horses or those with rounded backs may not require any balancers, but those with a prominent spine or muscle wastage generally will.

The pads can be layered on top of the saddle cloth before putting the saddle on the horse.They can be used in conjunction with either front or rear shims. The Velcro opening along the back seam allows the cover to be opened and shims inserted if required.

The Dorsal Supplement Pad (DSP) is fitted with the central gullet sitting straight along the horse’s spine and the saddle is supported by the pad.

Dorsal Supplement Pad Standard Gives a level lift along the length of the saddle with a single thickness. Useful where the saddle balance is good for the rider, but the fit is a little low on the horse’s back because of a prominent spine. Front wedge Designed to give more lift at the front for a high withered horse or where the rider needs to be positioned further back. Shims Shoulder Provide extra support for a prominent wither and fill the “tree point hollows” either side of it. Rear Provide extra support at the rear of the saddle.
