If you are concerned with riding in the heat and spinal clearance, this is the answer for you!
BOOTIES for the Specialized Saddle made in Idaho, U.S.A.. Built by an endurance rider, these two bootie "halves" are built with 1000 denier Cordura on top and and 80/20 wool poly fleece against the horse, and 1/4" wool felt inside. Along the topline of each half of pad is a strip of wide Velcro. You align this strip of Velcro with to the included "Velcro dots" that you glue to the cushion of your Specialized Saddle.
Built up heat is able to escape through the open gullet, and you'll never have to worry about spinal clearance again!
