Cashel western saddle long foam tush cushion 0.75-inch — 1 Count Multi, thin low-profile comfort

The Cashel Western Saddle Long Foam Tush Cushion (0.75-inch) is a thin, long foam pad designed to reduce pressure on the rider's tush, tailbone and hips when fitted under a western saddle.

This lightweight foam cushion slips between your saddle and seat or can be layered over a standard seat saver to add targeted protection where you sit. At three quarters of an inch thick, it preserves close contact with the horse while softening hard edges and smoothing out pressure points. Constructed by Cashel, a brand known for practical equestrian comfort accessories, this tush cushion is a simple way to improve ride comfort without altering saddle fit.

How will this thin foam cushion change my ride comfort?

The long foam design spreads pressure across the sit bones, tailbone and upper thigh area so you feel fewer point-pressure sensations during long rides. It’s not bulky, so balance and close feel remain intact while the foam absorbs small jolts and softens hard saddle seams.

• 0.75-inch thickness for subtle cushioning without bulk
• Long shape covers sacrum and tailbone area for even pressure distribution
• Thin profile keeps rider balance and close contact with the horse

Will it change how my saddle fits my horse?

Because the cushion is thin and intended to sit on top of your existing seat or saver, it generally won’t alter saddle tree fit or throw off gullet clearance. It’s designed to work as an add-on for rider comfort rather than a corrective pad for saddle fit issues.

• Minimal thickness avoids significant alteration of saddle positioning
• Use with caution if your saddle is already tight—consult a saddle fitter for fit concerns
• Easily removable for inspection of saddle-to-horse contact

How do I attach, clean, and maintain the tush cushion?

Placement is straightforward—slide the cushion into the seat area or layer it over your current seat saver and then saddle as usual. For routine care, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing to preserve foam integrity. Store flat or rolled loosely to prevent permanent compression.

• Simple slide-in placement under or over existing seat savers
• Spot clean with mild soap and water; air dry completely
• Store flat or loosely rolled to maintain foam resilience

Which rides and disciplines benefit most from a thin tush cushion?

This low-profile cushion suits trail riders, pleasure riders, and any rider seeking more comfort without losing close contact — especially during long outings or rides with repeated mounting and dismounting. It’s also helpful for riders who want a modest reduction in sharp pressure from saddle seams or hard edges.

• Trail and endurance riders wanting subtle extra comfort
• Western pleasure and working riders who need pressure relief without bulk
• Riders using older or firmer seats who want immediate cushioning

Who this is for: The Cashel Western Saddle Long Foam Tush Cushion (0.75-inch) is ideal for riders who want to soften seat pressure while preserving saddle feel. Choose this if you want an unobtrusive, easy-to-clean foam insert to reduce point pressure on the tailbone and hips, if you need a portable comfort solution that doesn’t change saddle fit, or if you prefer a low-profile pad to layer with existing seat savers. If you have persistent saddle fit issues or your horse shows signs of discomfort, have a qualified saddle fitter evaluate fit before relying solely on rider-side cushioning.
