Prices effective 10/1/05 have increased; please ask April
for details. $150 and up for treeless saddles. April highly recommends
the $20 100%-wool upgrade for less slippage on mounting.
The Skito Saddle pad is constructed to allow horses' backs to breathe; the pad spreads the rider's weight over a larger area thereby minimizing any pressure points. Because the weight of the rider is "equalized' over the entire saddle bearing area, this relieves or eliminates most saddle fit and pressure point problems.

The Skito equalizer pad is recommended by most horse chiropracters. Custom made for all saddle types-$140-$220 depending on style-color's. 100% wool recommended for any hot, humid climate. A must for any treeless saddle!

They work great with not only Bob Marshall Treeless Saddles but all other saddles. "If you cannot yet switch to a treeless saddle, you MUST HAVE A SKITO PAD," says longtime trainer, April Battles. April uses and sells nothing else but Skito Saddle Pads.

The Equalizer™ Saddle Pad System by Skito is Patented w/ Removable Open-cell foam insert * The Skito saddle pad adsorbs over 90% of impact energy from all directions, providing more comfort and less fatigue for both horse and rider.  * Light weight and Breathable. Insert foam pad *

Also available front & rear shims * center shims * bridging shims
for sway back horses, and those with extra high withers.

The Equalizer foam breathes and passes water and water vapor, releasing irritating moisture and heat on the horse's back. 
The Skito Pad can be made to fit not only the Sports Saddles but any conceivable saddle model, such as English, Aussie, SR Enduro, Barrel, Square or Round skirt Western saddles, etcetera. See Skito Styles

Other tack breast collars $30 and cruppers $24-highly used and praised by all endurance and trail riders! Any color.

Lots of Saddle Patterns and custom pads too

For superior performance and a happy horse, a horse's back must remain free, strong, relaxed and able
 to extend and fully move whether you ride an Arab, Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse, Mule, Gated Horse, Draft, or Warmbloods. 
Only a Treeless saddle offers this. Equally important, if offers the rider total comfort.
