-Ranch pads are more lightweight, thinner, & even more tightly woven. Weighting about 6.5 pounds and 1/2” thick. Ranch pads are woven on a different loom from the Show Pads allowing for more of an intricate design throughout the pad. Due to the detail in a ranch pad, it does take longer to create. These pads are great for all disciplines but are seen mainly in ranch riding, cutting, cow horse, roping, trail, and much more. -Both Show Pads and Ranch Pads are all hand woven on a loom!
