Should I have extra padding for a swayback horse?

Question

My gelding is about 22 and he is getting a swayback (not to terrible right now but noticeable) I do ride him often and I wanted some opinions on the cushions that go over the saddle pad and under the saddle (for example: cashel cushion or wintec cushion). Do you think it would benefit him if I were to use one of the cushions? He is a really good boy and I would love to ride him for many years to come! Thanks for you help!

Answer 1

Yes, it will not reverse the swayback that he has, but it will prevent it even further. I alwasy ride will a gel pad under my regualr pad. It just cushions the shock.
