Equilib Marathon Horse Armor Saddle Pads
![]() |
Equilib Marathon Horse Armor Saddle Pads This high density armor pad was invented to protect the horse from the carriage shafts during marathon maneuvers by advanced combined driving competitor, Marnie Hutcheson in 2001. We have purchased the business from Marnie in March of 2007 and are now offering both the original Equilib horse armor pad, and the all new “cool air flow” open waffle version. Both styles are available in stock in 4 standard sizes (Pony, Medium, Large, and Extra Large). The 3 pictures to the right show how these pads work. |

Original Style We can also custom make anything you may need such as longer, shorter, wider or with the extra “D” pad behind the saddle as well as in front. A special high density “D” shaped pad in front of the saddle protects the horse’s shoulder from the inside shaft tip, and padding behind the saddle protects the horse ribs from the outside shaft when they bend into a turn. Many large bodied horses need extra protection behind the saddle. If you want an extra “D” pad behind the saddle as well as in front add: $50.00 to your size.
Pick the right size pad for your horse and carriage ………. The tip of the shaft (sweet spot) is at: Pony Size: 13.5” down from the backbone and 4.5” forward from the center of the saddle Horse Size: 14.5” down from the backbone and 5” forward from the center of the saddle
