It is best for riders who want extra cushioning under the saddle for schooling, hacking and everyday yard work, and for horses that are sensitive to pressure points.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause the foam adjusts itself to each individual back, slight problems in the saddle's fit are neutralised and the saddle sits more evenly.
