The Kush Collection
The Kush Collection is made from 100% high-quality, washed and pressed wool that is 136 ounces per square yard. It is durable and resistant to compression, yet soft and flexible. Properties of this pad allow it to absorb moisture, which aids in removing heat from the horse’s back. This pad is light gray or black in color, and comes in 1.25″, 1″ or 3/4″ thickness options.
