ABSTRACT:
A method of aiding difficult horses by using a saddle pad with protective extensions on each side measuring ten inches wide and ten inches long that cover the sensitive area of the intercostal nerve on the horse which affects the muscles in the lumbar region and hind legs, located just behind and twelve inches above the elbow. Stimulation in this area can cause some horses to become upset through being "cold-backed", sensitive and high strung, previously mistreated and/or injured and thereby difficult to girth, or young horses resistant to saddle and girth when being broken. One or more of these conditions can cause a horse to be uncomfortable and possibly uncooperative and difficult to train. The pad is constructed of top and bottom layers of cotton terry cloth or other suitable material and three inner layers of polyester fiberfill. These layers stitched together create a slight stretch providing a conforming fit to the horse's back and sides. The designated straps on the pad ensure a fit that will prevent slipping and wrinkling. The pad is thick enough for the comfort of the horse and thin enough to allow the rider a close feel of the horse. The protective extensions on each side allow the horse to be more comfortable, thereby more trainable. The best results are obtained by gradual tightening of the girth strap.
