Performance Meets Precision: The ARMA Elegance 2.0 Jump Pad

Nothing ruins a solid jumping session like a sweaty, slipping pad that causes friction under the saddle. The ARMA Elegance 2.0 Jump Pad by Shires is engineered to tackle that heat head-on, keeping your horse cool and comfortable from the first warm-up fence to the final oxer. With its sleek, smooth-texture finish and professional metal ARMA badge, it’s a piece of gear that looks as good in the show ring as it performs during daily schooling.

Designed specifically for the forward-cut of a jump saddle, this pad focuses on stability and airflow. The contoured spine ensures it sits deep in the gullet, preventing pressure on the wither, while the elasticated D-ring straps keep everything secure without the bulk of traditional long straps. It’s a sophisticated upgrade for any rider who values both technical performance and a polished, ranch-ready look.

Key Benefits

• Advanced Moisture Management: The ULTRA DRI ZONE lining instantly wicks sweat away from the horse's skin, regulating temperature and preventing the friction that leads to rubs during high-intensity work.
• Customized Saddle Fit: Available in two distinct size ranges (15"–16.5" and 17"–18") to ensure the pad aligns perfectly with your saddle seat size and prevents excess material bunching.
• Enhanced Stability: Features elasticated D-ring straps that provide a secure, low-profile connection to the saddle, ensuring the pad stays in place even over the biggest fences.
• Professional Competition Finish: The smooth-texture outer fabric and signature metal ARMA badge offer a high-end aesthetic suitable for the show ring or professional clinics.
• Pressure Relief: The anatomically contoured spine follows the horse's topline, providing vital clearance for the withers and ensuring the pad stays tucked up in the gullet.

Best For

The performance-focused hunter/jumper rider looking for a high-wicking, professional-grade pad that eliminates friction and ensures a precision fit for their jump saddle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know which size ARMA Elegance 2.0 Jump Pad to buy?

Sizing is based on your saddle's seat size. For saddles measuring 15" to 16.5", choose the smaller size; for saddles 17" to 18", the larger size ensures the contoured spine and forward-cut shape align perfectly with your gear.

Q: Does the lining help with sensitive-skinned horses?

Yes! The ULTRA DRI ZONE lining in the ARMA Elegance 2.0 Jump Pad is specifically designed to reduce moisture buildup and heat, which are the primary causes of skin irritation and friction rubs during intense jumping sessions.
