If you are unsure which saddle pad style you have, a Universal pad compared to a Shaped pad cut specifically to fit your saddle's model, please feel free to contact me and so we can best determine which option to select from the drop down menu.
The website automatically charges a flat $10.95 shipping fee. Larger accessories, such as saddle pad inserts, are sent via UPS and the shipping cost varies based on location. You will be contacted by me to approve an exact shipping amount.
