Based on a thin wide pad to minimise bulk, this is a slimmed down version of our popular adjustable pad affectionately known as “the saddle fitter’s friend”.

Provides quick easy front or rear adjustment when trying to balance a saddle. Set on a thin base to keep bulk to a minimum, this three-pocketed pad provides endless solutions when trying to balance a saddle on a horse with asymmetric conformation or during a remedial fit.
Also helpful for the sway backed or croup high horse.

The Tri-Pad has six pockets so is probably our most versatile tool for the saddle fitter because adjustment can be made at either the front, middle and rear, plus balance adjustments side to side. This makes it useful for a horse with asymmetrical conformation and can also be the solution for a horse with a dippy back, an older horse for example, where you can just shim the central sections.

The Pro Lite Tri-Pad is also a wonderful addition to support healthy topline when bringing horses back into work from a spell, after illness or injury or at any other time when topline is compromised.  

Thick shims (1/2") and replacement thin inserts are available to buy separately.

Do your horse’s back a favour and use one every day. What makes our pads so much better than their rivals is that Prolite is a closed-cell medical grade foam which, in recent scientific tests, was shown to reduce saddle pressures. It is important to note that this was demonstrated with the horse moving at trot and at speed with a rider on board - not in a laboratory. In addition, Prolite pads have a central webbing spine that helps them maintain stability under the saddle - they are not prone to slipping down onto the wither (this was shown to happen in some designs during a pilot study of galloping horses).

Prolite products are guaranteed against manufacturing faults or material defects for one year from the date of purchase (when purchased new from an authorised Prolite stockist). In the unlikely event that you encounter a fault with your Prolite girth or pad, the first step is to get back in touch with the retailer who supplied it.
