Stop Fighting Saddle Slippage and Wither Soreness

The Classic Equine SensorFlex Western Blanket Top Contour Saddle Pad solves two of the most persistent problems in western riding: pads that shift during hard work and pressure points that create sore spots. This three-layer hybrid system combines a hand-woven 100% New Zealand wool top, shock-absorbing wool felt center, and a 1-inch Merino fleece bottom — eliminating the need for separate liners while delivering superior comfort from our barn to yours.

The anatomical contour shape is pre-molded to follow your horse's topline, providing immediate wither relief the moment you cinch up. Integrated fender cutouts thin the pad where your leg sits, giving you that close-contact feel for precise cues when you're working cattle or navigating technical trail obstacles. The Merino fleece bottom naturally wicks heat and sweat, keeping your horse's back cool even during long days in the saddle.

Why Riders Choose the SensorFlex Contour Pad

• No more shifting or bunching — Anatomical contour shape stays locked in place during roping, reining, and ranch work.
• Built-in impact protection — 1-inch thickness and shock-absorbing wool felt center protect against sore backs without adding bulk.
• Better leg contact for clear communication — Integrated fender cutouts let you feel your horse's movement and deliver subtle cues.
• Eliminates liner hassle — Three-layer construction means you saddle up once — no extra liner to wash or adjust.
• Keeps your horse cooler — 100% Merino fleece bottom wicks moisture naturally, reducing sweat buildup and heat stress.
• Show-ring ready — Hand-woven New Zealand wool top delivers a finished, professional look for competition days.

Best For

Western riders who rope, ranch, or compete looking for a single pad that stays put and prevents wither soreness without adding extra layers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to use a separate liner with this pad?

No. The SensorFlex is designed as a complete system — the 1-inch Merino fleece bottom and shock-absorbing felt center provide all the cushioning and moisture management your horse needs. You'll actually reduce bulk by ditching the liner.

Q: How do I know what size to order for my western saddle?

Measure from the front of your saddle's pommel to the back of the skirt, then add 3 to 4 inches. The pad should extend beyond the saddle edges to protect your horse's back and prevent pressure points.

Q: Will the contour shape work if my horse has high withers?

Yes — the anatomical contour is pre-molded to lift away from the wither area, providing immediate relief for horses with prominent withers. The shape also helps distribute saddle pressure more evenly across the back.

Q: How do I care for the wool top and fleece bottom?

Brush off dried sweat and dirt after each ride. For deeper cleaning, hand wash in cool water with a wool-safe detergent and air dry flat. Avoid machine washing, which can felt the wool and reduce the pad's shock-absorbing properties.
