An improved shock-reducing saddle pad comprising a layer of polyurethane foam having an upper side to which is attached a T-shaped pocket. Inside the T-shaped pocket there is a plastic-encased impact dispersing gel mold. A cover material is placed over the entire upper side of the layer of polyurethane foam, including the T-shaped pocket filled with the gel mold. To the under side of the layer of polyurethane foam there is attached a layer of a lightweight, elastomeric rubber which, while also absorbing downwardly directed impact forces, conforms to the contour of the horse's back, preventing slippage of the saddle pad and saddle, though not absorbing sweat.
