Best Bareback Pad

• Shaped back seam is curved for a higher wither.

• Will not tighten directly onto the backbone due to stitched down webbing either side of the spine and relief in the webbing over the spine.

• English or western girthing system (girth not included) - english billets are made from Beta biothane and western cinch from nylon (seat belt) webbing to minimise bulk under your leg.

• D rings front and back to attach your saddle pad, breastplate, coat, lead rope, water bottle etc.

• Made from quality 16mm thick felt covered with black or brown quality suede.

Why use a bareback pad?

Riding on a bareback pad gives you more security than without one, while allowing you the freedom to develop your balance and independent seat.

A bareback pad is ideal for introducing young horses to wearing a girth as it doesn't need to be girthed as tightly.
They are lighter and so easy to carry to the horse, and provide enough padding for your seatbones to keep your horse comfortable and you clean.

A Bareback pad will fit pretty much all horses, although a very high withered horse may need a 'treeless' saddle pad underneath (has a channel down the centre) to provide relief for the backbone.

Using a cotton saddle pad underneath the bareback pad keeps the felt clean, and if you find your pad slips, use a 'sticky' synthetic pad.

Enjoy the freedom and challenges of riding on a Bareback Pad - the suede gives you much better grip than most saddles.
