Professional's Choice - SMx Air Ride Saddle Pads

How Does The SMx Air Ride™ Core Material Work?

The patented SMx Air Ride™ core material allows air to circulate in every direction resulting in accelerated heat and moisture evaporation, making it highly breathable. As the horse sweats, the sweat coats the waterproof beads and the airflow actively accelerates evaporation, cooling and drying. Your horse will feel less heat and cool off faster, increasing overall performance.

The padding also has a unique shock absorbing ability. Excess energy from impact is deflected throughout the pad and away from the horse’s back, lessening pressure. This prevents pressure points from forming and gives an even, comfortable ride. Scientific testing has proven it to be remarkably compression-resistant even under the most demanding use, making it exceptionally durable and long lasting.

By placing the SMx Air Ride™ technology into our saddle pads, the pads deliver a ride that is unsurpassed in smoothness for both horse and rider alike. The SMx Air Ride saddle pads relieve pressure from the most sensitive areas of a horse’s back and distribute the weight of saddle and rider evenly over the entire pad. SMx Air Ride pads are not only shock absorbent and lightweight but also breathable thus epitomizing the Professional's Choice motto, "The more comfortable the horse, the better the performance."

All of the Professional's Choice SMx Air Ride™ Saddle Pads have a 60-Day Money Back Guarantee and a One-Year Warranty.
