When you buy a Prolite pad, you’re getting more than just the pad itself.
With the addition of shims, your Prolite pad can help fine-tune saddle balance and support comfort by filling specific gaps, adjusting front or rear balance, or providing an additional protective layer between horse and saddle.
Here, Vanessa demonstrates some of the ways shims can be used with your Prolite pad.
We always recommend consulting a qualified saddle fitter to ensure the best fit for both horse and rider - find out more at prolitepads.com

‘Original and best’ might be a cliche, but it’s a cliche for a reason. Often, the original is simply the best.
Prolite has proven time and time again to be just that for British Olympic dressage rider Spencer Wilton, who explains here why Prolite pads will always come out on top for his horses.

What a brilliant week we had at Badminton, Prolite were proudly hosted on the Colne Saddlery stand and we had a very busy time meeting lots of lovely customers.
We were also very proud to see so many riders competing in Prolite, as well as a number of our Prolite riders doing so well - Harry Meade and Annaghmore Valoner finished on the podium in third place after a fantastic performance.
Very exciting all round!

Prolite uses scientifically engineered material designed to do more than simply cushion - it actively disperses pressure, absorbs impact, and reduces friction across your horse’s back.
By managing forces created during movement, it helps maintain comfort and stability under saddle to resultantly improve performance for both horse and rider.
The central webbed spine enhances this by maintaining consistent spinal clearance while adding structure and preventing collapse or movement during work. This combination of flexibility and rigidity allows the pad to stay correctly positioned, even with forceful pressure and movement.
Shim pockets allow saddle fitters to fine-tune saddle fit to your horse by adding or removing pads where needed. This makes it possible to adjust pressure distribution over time, whether compensating for changes in muscle development or improving overall saddle balance.
Prolite is a research-aligned solution for managing pressure, movement, and fit.

Most saddle slip isn’t random… around 90% actually goes to the right 👀
Why? It often comes down to asymmetry in horse and rider - something as subtle as muscle development or balance can shift your saddle off centre without you even realising.
The good news: small adjustments can make a big difference.
The flexibility of Prolite pads and it’s different shimming options allow you fine-tune balance, improve stability, and keep everything sitting where it should.
