Overview
Toklat's T3 Matrix WoolBack Western Pad with Ortho-Impact Inserts provides the support and protection your horse requires. Ergonomically designed for maximum freedom of movement, while the strategically placed cut-out allows for ultimate close-contact leg position. Featuring a non-slip quilt ETC™ fabric top to supply security without using friction, the pad will maintain position throughout enduring rides. The 100% natural virgin woolback underside lining furnishes ultimate comfort, aiding in the prevention of common diseases such as osteoarthritis, muscle loss, and kissing spine. The contoured design allows for maximal wither clearance, making it a versatile option for use among many horses.
T3 Matrix Bio-Kinetic Ortho-Impact Inserts are included with the saddle designed for athletic performance and general schooling. Ortho-Impact Inserts are especially beneficial for stabilizing the saddle for riders needing more back support and compensating for horse conformation problems. The Ortho-Impact Inserts feature a 3/8" layer of high-density Extreme Pro Poron® XRD™ foam to minimize concussion over a 1/2" layer of medium density viscoelastic foam offering stabilizing support for both horse and rider.

Technologies/Materials:
WoolBack® virgin knit-wool fleece is resilient, durable pile material offering superior moisture wicking and heat dispersal with high breathe-ability, concussion protection and comfort. WoolBack fleece is natural white in color.
- Natural - Virgin wool fibers provide comfort for your horse - wool is considered by the medical profession to be hypoallergenic.
- Absorbent - Actually absorbs and wicks away moisture. Keeps your horse's back moist but not wet.
- Breathes - Wool is very porous which allows for continuous air circulation and release of moisture during use.
- Does Not Slip - Has minute “barbs” that grip to the hair to keep the saddle from slipping.
- Tough - Natural resiliency reduces wear and provides years of soft, cushioned protection for your horse.
- Looks Great - The unique structure of the fibers resists dirt penetration.
Poron® XRD™ with Microban® antimicrobial protection is high-performance open-cell foam that absorbs 90% of impact energy from the rider and saddle on the horses back, as well as minimizing the energy bounce back as the rider lands in the saddle; thus, allowing for a more stable, comfortable seat for both horse and rider. The supporting layer of medium density viscoelastic foam offers additional cushioning protection without restricting range of motion.
Ergonomic Design features inserts with a longer front to complement the natural contour of the horse's shoulder to provide a custom fit that supports muscle development without interfering with important muscle groups.
T3 Matrix Bio-Kinetic Inserts are a part of the T3 System: an innovative approach that integrates the latest ergonomic research with the most popular time-tested features. T3 marks a major transition in the design of products for the art, sport and science of equestrian performance. These products are systematically engineered for comfort, style and performance from the inside out, using new insights into the dynamics of equine physiology.

Previous Feedback
Comments: I purchased this saddle pad about a month ago. I love the inserts and the shim system. Great idea. However, this saddle pad slips terribly. Ever time I use it. I mean up on my horse's hip. I can't tighten the girth any tighter and the use of the breast collar can do so much. My next option will be to use a non-slip pad against my horse's back, between back and saddle pad, which is defeating the purpose of the sheepskin/fleece pad. I live in Florida so hoping the heat will not be too great on his back. This pad is too expensive to go through this much trouble!
