  Gel-Ride Seat Saver
Protects the rider on those long rides! Great for those with back problems, the Gel-Ride Seat Saver cushions the ride without creating bounce.

The Seat Saver is a layer of .8 cm gel and a layer 1/2" foam, covered with a black polar fleece cover.  The seat is about 13" across and 12" long. It has a basic teardrop shape, like a big bicycle seat. 

In the Western Seat Saver, the back part hooks over the cantle of the saddle with elastic. Place the pad on the seat, then run the front elastic down through the hole by the horn and up around the horn to secure it. It will fit any size of Western saddle, any tree.

The English Seat Saver goes over the seat, then from the cantle under the saddle, along the gullet, and fastens in the front with Velcro and elastic. It will fit any English saddle.

When ordering, please specify either English or Western.
