Western Tush Cushions from Cashel Company

Cashel Western Tush Cushions, designed to fit most western saddles, are carefully engineered to make extended time in the saddle much more comfortable. These cushions will not interfere with your balance and seat in the saddle - they'll simply keep you feeling great as you ride. Each Tush Cushion features 1/2" thick foam that will not collapse, compress excessively, or bunch up underneath you. Plus, these cushions will not absorb or hold in heat, keeping you cooler and happier while in the saddle. Adjustable nylon straps hold your Cashel Western Tush Cushion firmly in place, preventing the sliding and shifting problems experienced with other seat savers.

Choose from several Western Tush Cushion styles to suit your unique needs and riding style/preferences.

The Foam Tush Cushion is available in two lengths: The Standard Foam Tush Cushion is designed to protect the pelvic area. The Long Foam Tush Cushion extends the length of the Standard cushion by 5" and provides additional padding up the cantle - ideal for riders who like to sit back in the saddle or who have had tail bone injuries that require extra cushioning. Available in Black only.

The Luxury Foam Tush Cushion is wider and longer to support you where the saddle doesn't. This Tush Cushion is specifically designed with double-thick Cashel foam along the outside edge to help eliminate painful pressure points and provide an incredibly comfortable ride. Available in Black only.

The Luxury Fleece Tush Cushion takes softness in the saddle to a new level, adding a layer of plush fleece to Cashel's superior foam. This Tush Cushion is ideal for use in a larger saddle when extra cushioning is crucial. The Western Luxury Fleece Tush Cushion protects the sciatic area, tailbone, and hips. It also lays over the cantle for additional support for the upper thigh. Features a 1" rim, molding seat in cushion. Available in Black or Tan.
