The Correction Panels

Home

The Correction Panels work in conjunction with the Impression Pad. Once you have determined your saddle fit problem, you are able to create a customized Correction Panel to correct the fit. Whenever you want, the Correction Panels can be retested and modified.
How it works...

1) Determine saddle fit with the Impression Pad. The Impression Pad indicates saddle pressure by the displacement of the Equi-Dough. Areas under the saddle (bars) that have the least amount of pressure will have the thickest amount of Equi-Dough, areas of extreme pressure will have the thinnest.

2) Apply varying thicknesses of foam rubber spacers to the leather Correction Panels replicating (copying) the curvature of the Equi-Dough. The leather panels and closed foam spacers all have Velcro attachments.

The Correction Panel in the following illustration could be used for a saddle that bridges (no pressure in the middle of the saddle bar). By placing the thicker spacers where the Equi-Dough is thick (least amount of saddle pressure) and the thinner spacers where the Equi-Dough is thin (most amount of saddle pressure) you are able to fill the gaps between the horse's back and the saddle's bars. This will equalize the saddle pressure on your horse's back.

3) Level the Equi-Dough in the Impression Pad with a (baker's) rolling pin.

4) Reattach the Correction Panels to the Impression Pad.

5) Place the Impression Pad (with attached Correction Panels) on your horse and retest saddle fit.

6) Evaluate new saddle fit, make adjustments to the foam rubber spacers if required.

7) Remove the Correction Panels from the Impression Pad.

8) Place the Correction Panels in pockets of the Correction Pad.
