What Is a Half Pad and Why Use One?

A half pad is a streamlined saddle pad that sits directly between your saddle and your horse’s back, typically on top of your regular saddle pad. But why use a half pad on your horse? Riders choose half pads for several reasons:

• Saddle Fit Correction: Our pads fine-tune the fit of your saddle, compensating for minor changes in your horse’s shape or muscle development. If your saddle is slightly too wide or doesn’t sit quite right, a half pad can provide a better, more balanced fit.
• Shock Absorption: These pads add a crucial layer of cushioning, reducing the impact of each stride and jump. This helps protect your horse’s back and can also reduce rider fatigue on long or intense rides.
• Pressure Distribution: By spreading the rider’s weight more evenly, half pads help eliminate sensitive pressure points, making your horse more comfortable and supporting long-term back health.
• Back Protection: Horses with sensitive backs, high withers, or previous soreness benefit from the extra support and protection a half pad provides.
• Versatility: As your horse’s body changes with age, training, or condition, our pads can adapt your existing saddle without the need for costly replacements.

How to Choose the Right Half Pad

• Assess Your Saddle Fit: Use a half-pad saddle pad for minor saddle fit issues, but always consult a professional saddle fitter for significant concerns.
• Select the Right Material: Sheepskin and memory foam offer excellent shock absorption and pressure relief; synthetic options are easy-care and hypoallergenic.
• Match to Your Discipline: Choose a cut and thickness that complements your saddle type, whether it’s GP, jump, or dressage.
• Monitor Your Horse’s Comfort: Regularly check for signs of soreness or pressure, and adjust your padding as your horse changes shape or workload.
