Air filled saddle pad - not Korrector

[Madasmaz]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has seen these. I found it on the web a while back and stupidly forgot to book mark it. It is shaped like a prolite pad, but has tubes of air running in pommel to cantle direction. I would like to try one out on my low withered pony, sheepskin (although allowing more freedom of movement through the shoulder) unfortunately puts me on the floor no matter how tight the girth, so donated to my friend with a TB. I have seen an article on them as well, but can't remember where either. No lectures on tack please, just let me know if you've heard of them and who makes them, web link would be nice but not essential. Ta.

Was it a "Flair" one

No it wasn't a flair one. They were mentioned by a horse physio over a year ago, but she has since moved to NZ. The pad is not made by anyone to do with the Flair, Wow saddles, or the fiddly Korrector pad, which won't work anyway. Its is litterally like a prolite pad that sits between your saddle and numnah just with air tubes instead, to allow a bit more freedom of movement.

Try googling "Kavalkade "soft air""

In fact, try here where they are listed for sale. Very bottom of page.

The kavalkade is the tubes one, but Horseware also make an air filled pad. I think they had them in the rideaway catalogue.

Thanks everyone, food for thought. I will have a good look round at the shows this year..Badminton bound...not competing...mine would fit under those jumps and I would need some serious alcohol abuse to get me over them.
