"Ultimate" Bareback Pad

Read article on BAREBACK RIDING: THE “BARE” FACTS

This is THE BEST bareback pad on the market! We can say this because we have personally tested 11 of the top sellers, including Parelli’s. The inner core is made from layers of lightly quilted medical felt to prevent the horse’s back from becoming sore, and it will never "memorize" your seat.

The outer covering of the bareback pad is made of high quality, color-fast suede, that acts like Velcro. The under side of the pad is made of a breathable, waffle neoprene, to prevent any slippage of the pad.

Most bareback pads slip and slide. The reason they do this is that most of them have their own girth attached to the pad, and this girth cannot be cinched tight because of it’s design. This is extremely dangerous for the rider! The "Ultimate" bareback pad uses your own girth (dressage or western), which allows the pad to remain secure, because it cinches tight - just like a saddle. Another dangerous design of bareback pads are stirrups! Stirrups provide a false sense of security to the rider, and they don’t allow the rider to achieve the proper position. The fact that bareback pads do not have any tree leads to unnecessary falls because the rider actually pulls the pad over when they attempt to use the stirrups for balance.

Bareback riding in a bareback pad improves balance, and allows the rider to maintain close contact with the horse so that the rider learns how to feel the movement of the horse. The non-slip design of the Ultimate Bareback Pad eliminates the need to "brace" against the horse in order to maintain balance. Bareback pads are adjuncts to rider education - they are not recommended as a replacement to riding in a properly fitting saddle.

$165 (shipping included) - Shipping may be delayed up to 3 weeks because it is a custom-made item.

Two-tone pads and custom colors are available at an additional cost.
