Benefits for the horse

Perfect fit

Significant reduction in point pressure compared to a normal sheepskin pad and even distribution of load on the horse's back ensure the saddle fits correctly.

Muscle support for horses

Your horse's back muscles can relax and tighten much more easily during daily training when using the pad.

Innovative pad that increases the horse's willingness to move

Your horse moves freely and easily in every gait.

The most effective shock absorption on the market

Pressure on your horse's back during jumps is significantly reduced, especially in show jumping during take-off and landing.

Benefits for the rider

Ergonomic design

Your back muscles work more freely when riding and jumping.

Minimized tension

You will suffer much less from back and neck pain after training sessions or competitions.

Saddle stability

The pad stabilizes the saddle and minimizes feelings of instability.

Pad features and different layers

• 1. BALLISTIC NYLON COVER Replaceable, wear-resistant and durable - the velvety upper shell protects the other layers from external factors and prevents the pad from moving and slipping under the saddle.

• 2. DYNAMIC STABILIZATION LAYER This modern material is used to increase the saddle's contact surface with the horse's back and thus stabilize the saddle. This layer helps to compensate for the horse's conformation when the saddle does not fit properly.

• 3. FORCE EQUALIZER This non-Newtonian material, used in modern military industry, is highly flexible and offers a remarkable ability to store and filter kinetic energy. It is used to recover excess energy generated during riding.

• 4. BIOMECHANICAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE Synthetic biomechanical connective tissue, designed to protect the muscles under the pad, reduces the forces acting on the horse's back muscles and facilitates their relaxation and development.

• 5. KEVLAR BASE SHELL This layer is designed so that the Back Protect Solution Saddle Half Pad stays firmly on the saddle pad, preventing the saddle from slipping. The porous structure of the Kevlar mesh ensures that the shock absorber system receives fresh air, protecting it from moisture.

When should I choose the Comfort version?

• I use the same saddle on several different horses.
• My saddle was custom-made for my horse, and the saddle fitter included a pad in the saddle.
• I use sheepskin / memory foam / thick gel pad.
• My saddle was custom-made, but my horse is returning to work after an injury, and its back muscles are now weakened. I would like to help it get back in shape faster.
• My horse is young / at the beginning of training; I know it is still developing, which is why I decided to buy a wider saddle.
• My horse has weak back muscles; I need to develop and strengthen them as effectively as possible.
