Professional’s Choice Charmayne James SMx Air Ride Barrel Pad

Designed in collaboration with barrel racing legend Charmayne James, the Professional’s Choice SMx Air Ride OrthoSport Barrel Saddle Pad (Model ARSB) is built to meet the rigorous demands of professional competition. Measuring 28″ in length and 30″ in drop, this pad features a compact, streamlined profile specifically tailored for smaller, modern barrel saddles to ensure close contact and freedom of movement.

The core of the pad utilizes the medical-grade SMx Air Ride technology, which absorbs shock and disperses pressure while remaining highly breathable. Unlike traditional pads, the “OrthoSport” contoured design follows the natural arch of the horse’s back, locking the pad into the gullet to prevent shifting during tight, high-speed turns. Finished with a soft, medical-grade fleece bottom, it effectively wicks sweat away from the horse’s skin and provides a cushioned, non-slip barrier that keeps both horse and rider comfortable from the warm-up pen to the winner’s circle.

Key Features:

• Charmayne James Signature Design: Competition-tested geometry specifically engineered to provide the stability and clearance required for barrel racing.

• SMx Air Ride Core: Advanced, lightweight material absorbs impact shock and promotes continuous airflow to prevent heat buildup.

• OrthoSport Contoured Fit: Anatomically pre-curved spine keeps the pad lifted off the withers, preventing pressure points and ensuring a secure, non-slip fit.

• Plush Fleece Lining: Soft, moisture-wicking underside manages sweat and reduces skin friction during intense, sweat-heavy performances.

• Compact Barrel Profile: 28″ x 30″ dimensions reduce bulk under the leg, fostering a closer, more responsive feel between horse and rider.

• Reinforced Wear Leathers: Durable leather side panels protect against heavy fender and cinch wear.
