CSI Saddlepads
CSI Saddlepads have many features that all riders can appreciate including the carefree and durable design of the pad. The 100% all natural wool insert velcros right out to make cleaning and replacement easy. The outer shell is made of marine grade automotive carpet so it is easy to clean and will stand up to even the most demanding horseman. You can expect one to three years use out of the insert and upwards of 18,000 riding hours on the outer shell. Here are the types of CSI Saddlepads we offer:

• CSI Extreme Performance Flex-Plate Saddlepad (Western Style): CSI Saddlepads has led the way in a pain-free riding revolution for horse and rider. The CSI Saddlepad’s Patented Flex-Plate® System offers the ultimate in protection for your horse’s back — dispersing saddle bar pressure and allowing for superior range of motion. When combined with the 100% all natural wool felt insert, the system can virtually eliminate pressure point soreness. The CSI Flex-Plate is designed to work with your horse's anatomy and the design of the Western Saddle. Dozens of saddle trees were mapped during the initial design phase to assure that virtually any western saddle pressure point would be covered and dispersed by the CSI Flex-Plate.

• English GP (Grand Prix) Saddlepad (English Style)- The heart of the CSI Flex-Plate® Saddlepad is the CSI Flex-Plate®, and now this effective tool is available for the English riding enthusiast. CSI now offers the English GP (Grand Prix) Saddlepad. This pad works with general purpose, dressage and forward seat style saddles as well as gaited horse saddles based on an English saddle trees. The Engling GP pad offers the same layered design as our Western pad system so it's perfect for horses with conformation and back issues that affect saddlefit.
• CSI Saddlepads Sports Line-The CSI Sports line fits a range of saddles for a range of different disciplines. The easiest way to determine which one you need is by measuring your saddle. The standard Sport Cut pad is available in 30 and 32 inch lengths (it actually measures 29 1/2 and 31 1/2 respectively). Most saddles that use this pad will use the smaller size Except Treeless Saddles which need a 32 inch length to compensate for the difference in contour (the CSI pad has a more dramatic contour than many treeless saddles, therefore, to fit properly, you will need to position your saddle further back on the pad and thus need a 32 inch length to compensate). The Small Sport Cut pad works great with smaller Australian saddles — especially saddles made by the Australian Stock Saddle Company.

The CSI Flex-Plate® is used in all of our saddle pads and is designed to work with a horse’s anatomy and takes into account both muscle and bone structure as well how the equine back shape relates to typical western saddle tree design. When combined with the wool felt insert layer, the CSI Flex-Plate® Saddlepad virtually eliminates pressure points and back soreness. No matter how well your saddle fits, the CSI Flex-Plate® will make a difference in your ride.

Once you ride one, you really wonder how you ever rode without one.

How Do I Decide What Pad/Insert To Purchase?

CSI Saddlepads makes two different Flex-Plates. One fits Western saddles and saddles based on Western trees including treeless Western saddles, Western flex panel saddles, Aussie saddles with Western design, gaited saddles with Western design and endurance saddles with Western design. The other fits English saddles and saddles based on an English design including all purpose English, forward seat, hunter/jumper, event saddles, Aussie saddles with an English design, gaited saddles with an English design and endurance saddles with English design. Once you chose the Flex-Plate that works with your saddle, choosing the shape of your pad is easy. All of our Western style pads use the same Flex-Plate positioned in the same spot; the same for our English pads. Choose your pad shape based on what YOU feel will work best (and look best) with your saddle or best fits your needs. For complete step by step instructions, please visit our website.

Does The CSI Saddlepad Come With A Guarantee?

Yes. All of our Flex-Plate Saddlepads come with a 30 day money back guarantee. And, yes, we'll take back pads that are dirty or have been used.

What Do Customers Say About CSI Saddlepads?

I tried every possible saddle pad, I bought 4 new saddles and still was having problems with my good heel horse. He was getting hot,mad, and ringing his tail and I knew he had some pain in his back. I bought a CSI Pad and saw a immediate improvement. After a couple weeks he was back to working like before the back pain began. I have been using the CSI on him for the last 2 years and have never had another problem. Mike Crouch, European Team Roping Champion and Coach, 2011 Ustrc Eastern Regional Finals Shoot-out Champion, Professional TrainerI purchased a CSI pad after the recommendation of a friend and then trying her pad on my mare a growing young draft cross. We had a saddle that fit nicely but not "well", and with a still developing mare replacing saddles all the time just isn't an option or any fun for us. The CSI pad has made the difference between a "ok" fitting saddle and a "well" fitting saddle for us and I know my big girl thanks you very much for that!Dawn HendersonI got a CSI saddle pad the other day and im Very impressed! i already want another!Amanda, from Facebook
