Crafted for the serious equestrian, this pad features the signature VenTECH mesh lining—a non-slip, antimicrobial material that facilitates maximum airflow while rapidly wicking away sweat.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Will this pad fit my saddle if it has a very forward flap?
A: Absolutely. Unlike standard all-purpose pads, the VenTECH XC is specifically cut with a 23" x 20" profile to ensure that even extreme jumping flaps are fully supported without the saddle overhanging the front of the pad.

Q: How does this pad help horses prone to skin irritation or "scald"?
A: The VenTECH mesh lining allows for constant airflow directly against the horse's back. This prevents the heat buildup and moisture trapped by traditional pads, which are the primary causes of skin scald and friction rubs during heavy sweating.

Q: Is this pad durable enough for daily use in eventing?
A: Yes, it is built for the rigors of the discipline. With reinforced ballistic billet guards and a stain-resistant outer shell, it is designed to withstand the friction of high-speed galloping and frequent jumping without wearing through.
