BEST PAD™ Race Weight Shammy, developed to help achieve precise handicap weight, is a slip resistant, rubber mesh product embossed with BEST PAD™ Flex-Weight, high density, flexible polymer, marking its weight, identifying name/initials and BEST PAD™ logos. Shammys are available in grams. The international set of ten Shammys weight 100 to 550 grams, measured in increments of 50 grams. Our Race Weight Shammy joins the family of fine equine athletic equipment from BEST PAD™.
Weight and Grip
The Shammy has dual benefits--weight and grip. For the safety of horse and rider the race saddle needs to stay put. The Shammy was developed to reduce occurrences of race saddle slippage due to a saddlecloth rolling on itself. When saddling for a race, the saddlecloth is folded back on itself. A new, unlaundered saddlecloth has a very slippery surface. Also, saddle clothes of certain fabrics will continue to be slippery even after repeated use and laundering.
