I took my horse to a chiropractor today who recommended that I buy a pad that is open down the spine to keep pressure off and that I can shim due to his asymmetrical shoulders. I don't know where to look! Anyone have ideas for me? Thanks!

Giving this a bump up for you, but I'm a 5 Star fan, so cant help you on the type of pad that you are looking for.

Thank you! That was the first site I checked. Sure was hoping they would work.

You know what, 5 Star does make spine relief pads..

talk to RockyRoad on here, shes a dealer for 5 Star pads and she can help you out I'm betting.

Thank you!!! I did not find that!!!!

Diamond Wool makes a pad that can be shimmed. As long as you are careful to pull your pad up in your gullet, most pads won't bother the spine.

Thank you! 

myhuey, I would be more than happy to help you with a 5 Star!  We also carry shims if those would work too.  And the best part is, 5 Star is having a 10% off pads right now, & I always do free shipping to the lower 48 states.  My business is Horse N Around Tack, and you can msg me on here (but I never get the notifications anymore that I have a msg) or email me @ [email protected] 

Thank you!

Talk to your chiro about a toklat matrix & see if that would work. I really like mine.

Thank you!

Try looking into SaddleRight pads! They are wonderful and have been highly suggested for horses with kissing spine to relieve that pressure from the spine. These were also highly recommended by the osteopath that adjusts my horses frequently!

Thank you!
