The ESP™ Pad is a product Classic Equine produced a decade and a half ago with the goal to provide unprecedented extra sensory protection to the team roping horse. After years of continual testing by trusted professionals and using a high performance, non-porous foam core, the durability and impact protection offered by ESP Pads have stood the test of time. As a result, they have become a top choice among ropers and professionals across all disciplines, and it just keeps getting better.
These saddle pads are not just an average pad you throw under your saddle.
They begin with a 5/8” inch orthopedic grade felt that lays against your horse’s back to help wick away moisture while dissipating heat. The foam in these pads have evolved and improved through the years to a scientifically advanced medical-grade foam called XPF, which provides unbeatable protection against shock on your horse’s back, especially in tough events such as team roping and cowhorse. This material cushions and features a self-adjusting profile which provides comfort, protection, and an improved saddle fit. There are several choices in the ESP Pad line, but no matter which your favorite is, they all provide outstanding protection for your horse.
The ESP Contour Pad comes with a 100% wool blanket top.
It has a contour shape that is designed to mimic your horse’s top line for maximum comfort. For ropers, the blanket tops come in 34” X 38” length with a choice of ¾” or 1” thickness. These are also available in 32” X 34” in ¾” for other events where a smaller pad is preferred.
The ESP™ Felt Top Pad has a 3/8” wool blend top offering the same protection with a cut out over the withers and contoured fit to your horse’s back with a split design that allows the pad to move with your horse. The square Felt Top preferred by ropers comes in a 31” X 32” length.
The ESP™ Felt/Fleece Pad has the same design as the felt top for a classic look. This pad has a 100% Merino fleece bottom that wicks moisture and provides maximum comfort to your horse’s back. It also comes in the popular and sporty 31” X 32” length.
No matter which ESP Pad fits your needs and style best, you can trust you are choosing the highest level of protection for your hobby’s greatest asset, your horse.
