The Matrix Shim Barrel Felt Pad is an all-in-one pad with Impact Protection inserts and shims and includes the technology used to protect NFL players.  Introducing Toklat's T3 Performance pads with superior impact protection. This revolutionary barrel pad is extremely lightweight and breathable. The ergonomic design allows for maximum freedom of movement. The full length, Impact Protection inserts cushion, protect and absorb up to 90% of the energy transferred between horse and rider. Shims are designed that allow the rider to adjust an imperfect saddle fit, or compensate for asymmetrical muscle development. Build up side to side or front to back, as needed. The shim pad comes with three internal, full-length pockets on either side of the spine, each pre-filled with two 1/4" customizable felt shims for a total of 12 shims. The shims and Impact Protection inserts are accessed through a hook and loop closure on the spine. Further features include a rugged non-slip, military-grade topper, as well as a compression-resistant, orthopedic-grade felt lining and a correctly placed cut-out for close-contact leg position.  In addition, this superb barrel pad is designed with a high profile for maximum wither clearance and includes hardy genuine black wear leathers.  It will provide the horse a noticeably more comfortable back and rounded top line. Also, it will allow the rider to have a more secure seat and less bouncing in the saddle providing less stress on the back, knees and ankles.
