Sizing Your Dixie No-Sweat Pad
There are THOUSANDS of saddle pads, and thousands of sizes.
No-Sweat vent pads fit every one of them.
The way to get the right sized No-Sweat is to MEASURE your saddle
pad, then get the No-Sweat that is one size LARGER than your
saddle pad's measurements.
Here's how to measure:
Open up and lay your saddle pad out on a flat surface. Flatten your
saddle pad out the best you can.
LENGTH is from pommel to cantle.
WIDTH is from stirrup-to-stirrup at the WIDEST point.
Use a tape measure, yardstick, fabric tape, folding rule or ruler to get
the width and length of the ENTIRE saddle pad.
If you have long flaps on your saddle pad, like some Dressage,
English, Endurance and Police saddle pads, the WIDTH of your
saddle pad INCLUDES the entire flap, both right AND left sides, from
one end of it to the other, at it's LONGEST point.

No-Sweats are non-biased, and non-directional. There is no
"right" way to place it upon your horse. If your saddle pad
measures such that turning the No-Sweat sideways gives you
the right measurements, then THAT's the right size for you!
TRIMMING your new No-Sweat vent pad: If you'd like your new
No-Sweat to conform to your saddle pad, simply trim the
No-Sweat to the shape you'd like by just using a sharp scissors.
That's it! A custom fit!!
EXAMPLE: If your saddle pad measures 28" long x 32" wide,
Model OS-000, 30"x36" is the size you need; if your saddle pad
WITH FLAPS measures 29" long x 44" wide, Model OS-104,
36"x46" is the size you need.
NOTE: For maximum cooling for your horse's back, ALWAYS
ALLOW FOR AT LEAST ONE-INCH of the No-Sweat vent pad
to peek out from under your saddle pad all the way around your
saddle pad.
