Triple Duty Saddle Pad

The Triple Duty Saddle Pad is meant specifically for riders over 250 pounds or mules with a very high backbone. It is part of the premier mule saddle pad family designed by Steve Edwards. This TRIPLE DUTY mule pad is for use with all Steve Edwards mule saddles and other manufacturer’s round skirt saddles. The Triple Duty Saddle Pad is meant for riders over 250 pounds or mules who have a very high back bone. When to Use the Triple Duty Pad There are really only three reasons we typically recommend a Triple Duty Pad. First, if you’re over 250 pounds. Second, if you’re a working cowboy spending 8 hours a day in the saddle, 5 or 6 days a week. Third, if your mule has lost his topline and you can see a lot of spine. A Standard Pad is recommended in all other situations. More About Triple Duty Saddle Pad These high tech mule pads are designed and field tested by Steve Edwards and his packers specifically to fit mules. The original heavy duty “close contact” design features soft, colorfast Herculon tops in southwest patterns and solid colors, edges bound in black and genuine leather black wear leathers. These saddle pads are easy to maintain and designed for the mule’s comfort. They will fit both mules and donkeys! Why? Because the mule’s bone structure comes from the donkey and this pad is fit directly to bone structure – not muscle mass. The non-slip bottom is anti-bacterial, breathable and allows moisture to pass thru while helping to keep the saddle in place. The breathable felt inner pad along with the Perforated neoprene bottom helps the mule to sweat under the saddle, cushioning and lubricating his back to prevent soreness and hot spots. It not only provides comfort for the mule but for the rider as well. It has a close contact feel and absorbs shock. It’s easy to clean too—just spray with window cleaning solution and wipe dry. Wear Leather Made from Genuine Buffalo Leather. Does It Really Work? One of the reason’s Steve created the Triple Duty Saddle Pad was because he was seeing many folk’s mules were having conformation problems. As you can see in these pictures, the mule’s back is not straight. The front and back are high and low in the middle. This mule was not being fed properly and had conformation problems. To fix this you need to provide your mule good feeding and temporarily use the Triple Duty Saddle Pad. As you can see here, there has been a big improvement after using the Triple Duty Saddle Pad for a few weeks. Once your mules conformation has been fixed, you can go back to a normal saddle pad.
