The Ghost Kimberly Pad is the luxury line of saddle pads. The Kimberly line comes standard with the Vella medical grade synthetic lambskin on the underside of the pad and a quilted embroidery pattern. Ghost offers an upgraded selection of materials to further improve the Kimberly line of saddle pads. These include Suede and Lorica (synthetic suede) that offer a rich, vibrant selection of colors.
Topside materials include:
Lorica is a synthetic suede fabric that is durable, water-resistant, and requires minimal maintenance.
Suede offers a wide selection of beautiful, vibrant colors. Scotchguard or similar product is a helpful way to keep suede protected and long lasting.
Underside materials include:
Sympanova - soft rubber in a waffle pattern, easy to clean, breathable. Not recommended for extremely hot climates (AZ, TX, etc)
Vella - medical grade synthetic lambskin, extra protection for providing spine channel clearance. Great choice for long distance riders! Most popular choice!
Medicinal Sheepskin - a dense, thick wool that is an excellent choice for sensitive skinned horses, distributes pressure more evenly, stops friction, absorbs moisture. This backing can be a slightly slicker, not recommended for wide horses with a low/mutton wither. +$130 upgrade
1cm inserts are standard. This thickness works great for a large majority of horses.
2cm inserts are recommended if the rider exceeds 185lbs or if the horse has an atrophied back, this option may be a better choice to ensure your horse's spine is well protected. +15
All pads are shimmable. Access to the pad inserts is from a velcro opening on the side of the pad.
