It is best for riders schooling, warming up or competing in warm weather, and for any horse that runs hot under the saddle during flatwork.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnlike a standard quilted square, this pad is built around airflow: heat escapes upwards through the open mesh while cool air is drawn in, and the cooling action increases as the horse sweats.
