CSI English Flex-Plate Saddlepads
The heart of the CSI Flex-Plate® Saddlepad is the CSI Flex-Plate®, and now this effective tool is available for the English riding enthusiast.
CSI now offers the English GP (Grand Prix) Saddlepad. This pad works with general purpose, dressage and forward seat style saddles as well as gaited horse saddles based on an English saddle trees.
The Engling GP pad offers the same layered design as our Western pad system so it's perfect for horses with conformation and back issues that affect saddlefit. It's also perfect for schooling horses so they don't get sore from hard work. You can choose from a variety of inserts for the English GP pad including 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4" 100% all natural wool felt and 100% Merino wool. The English GP pad starts at $300 and priced based upon insert.
Some dressage riders may want to go with our Sport Pony pad (shown below) because it features a larger footprint. This pad is also excellent for Austalian Saddles (especially those made by Australian Stock Saddle Company). It has the same Flex-Plate as the GP but features a larger surface area and accomodation for a largerer saddle fender.
The CSI Flex-Plate® is designed to work with a horse’s anatomy and takes into account both muscle and bone structure as well how the equine back shape relates to typical western saddle tree design. When combined with the felt insert layer, the CSI Flex-Plate® Saddlepad virtually eliminates pressure points and back soreness. No matter how well your saddle fits, the CSI Flex-Plate® will make a difference in your ride.
The CSI Flex-Plate stands up to the pressure.
Just like our western pad, our English pad has the ability to disperse 300 plus pounds of pressure If you haven't had the opportunity to experience the CSI Flex-Plate difference, visit our booth at upcoming equine expo or show and get prepared to be impressed.
