Best for: Horses that need extra wither clearance while maintaining comfort and balance.
Material: Merino Wool
Thickness: 7/8"
Size: 28x30
Wither style: Open Wither
The Phoenix Open Wither Saddle Pad is designed to create additional room over the withers without sacrificing comfort or performance.
Made from Merino Wool for natural moisture management, breathability, shock absorption, and comfort during everyday riding or high-performance work.
Understanding this Phoenix pad
The Open Wither design features a front cutout instead of a continuous bridge over the withers. It reduces pad material directly over that area, with a straighter front profile than the raised APX™. Always check how the opening sits beneath your saddle.
Choose with confidence
Pad thickness and construction can affect how a saddle sits. If added bulk contributes to shoulder interference, a thinner pad may help, but pads should not mask a fundamentally unsuitable saddle.
