Collection: Shop Close Contact Pads for a Perfect Ride

Close contact pads will have a more forward cut in the front to accommodate forward-flapped saddles and typically will have an overall sleeker profile. These pads are primarily used in the Hunter / Jumper rings while showing or schooling over jumps. The forward cut allows optimal contact with the horse for better communication with your aids. These pads are also referred to as "fitted" or "shaped" pads.
