SKITO Equalizer Saddle Pad FOAM INSERTS
- SKITO Equalizer saddle pads are built to suit your specific saddle fitting needs.
- Foam density is a key in regards to comfort, support and durability.
- SKITO offers three types of density;
LIGHT DUTY
Capped with Felt and Mesh, this is a great all purpose laminated foam.
This option is great for our light to mid weight riders.
Available thickness: 1/2" - 1" & Custom
Riders Weight: Up to 200 LBS
MEDIUM DUTY
Mesh is laminated between two layers of 1/2 foam to make a durable but flexible base foam for our mid weight riders and horses with back issues.
Available thickness: 1" & Custom
Riders Weight: 175 LBS - 250 LBS
HEAVY DUTY (MULE FOAM)
Felt & Mesh are laminated between two layers of 1/2 foam.
This configuration is more suitable for the mules back and provides comfort for you and your mule.
The lamination reduces the compression of the foam and adds to the rigidity of the foam for better support and less impact pressure.
Available thickness: 1" & Custom
Riders Weight: 200 LBS +
SKITO 1" FOAM
1″ foam is available. Both thicknesses are appropriate for riders over 175 lbs., or for those in the saddle long hours at a time.
SHIMS: A variety of shims can be added to the foam inserts. The most commonly requested are the center shims. These are useful for horses who are a little bit A-framed where additional lift over the spine is needed.

Washing Instructions
Open velcro and remove foams. Foam inserts are not machine washable. (See below for foam care.) The velcro opening is usually located along the top front edge of pad. Sometimes it is located along the top spine edge of pad. Close velcro after removing foam. Close any open velcro such as girth straps to prevent the velcro from snagging on any other materials. All Velcro must be closed and secure so it doesn't flop around in the washer.
For laminated foams put clean foam on several towels and cover the foams with several more towels. Then step on the whole bundle several times to remove as much moisture as possible.
For non-laminated foams roll clean foams in a towel jelly-roll style, then step on the roll to remove excess water. Finally lay the foams flat on clean towel to completely air dry away from direct sunlight.
Reinsert foam into your cover and you are good for many more riding miles.
