The ultimate in technology has finally revolutionized the equine industry with the CSI Flex Plate System: The flex plate has withstood the test of time and use. CSI standard Western test pads are now nearing 15,000 hours of hard riding at the Lower Snake River Cattle Ranch at the base of the Teton in Wilson, WY. Our Western pads are also tested at a busy Texas feedlot and by a host of clinicians and professional horsemen from coast to coast. Plus, there are numerous competition and trail riders that absolutely swear by this pad. The unique design of the flex plate will reduce or eliminate common saddle fit issue. Because of the three overlapping layers of a very strong polycarbonate material (10,000 psi tensile strength), it simply will not allow any pressure points to radiate into the horse. This design allows for even distribution of the riders weight, saddle tree pressure and any type of impact, including roping. The flex plate increases the range of motion and the overall comfort for the horse. The flex plate also creates a foundation for the saddle bars to rest on, creating more stability, allowing the rider to feel more secure.

The contour is built into the pad; when it is pulled up into the saddle gullet it will remain in that position during the entire ride. It will not work down and apply pressure across the wither. Because of the foundation that the flex plate creates there will be no pressure applied to the spine. You will usually have even sweat every where except down the spine of the horse. The contour and the vent holes allow for good air flow.

The outer shell is marine grade automotive carpeting backed with felt. The Flex Plate is sewn in between the layers. Available colors are black, light brown, medium brown, dark brown, blue, burgundy and gray. Wear leathers are available in black or brown, The leather weight is 6 ounce. .

A cut out for latigo and off billet help to keep everything under your leg neat and reduces bulk.

Our foam inserts are made from a light weight military grade PVC foam, which conform to the horse while absorbing the impact of riding. It has an active response to pressure and works like a shock absorber for both horse and rider. Easy to clean and no need to worry about spreading rain rot. The foam material is NOT neoprene, and it has been proven that this material will not chaff your horse the way a neoprene pad sometimes will. The removable inserts are offered in different thickness: 1/2 inch foam for the round backed or over weight horses, our 3/4 inch foam is the most versatile, 1 inch foam is available upon request.

If you want a wool product next to your horse, you can add a 1/4 inch of felted wool to our foam insert. We also offer a 100% Merino wool insert as well.
