Which material for which need

Genuine sheepskin, as from HKM and BR, wicks away heat and moisture and follows the shape of the back: it is the most comfortable for the horse, but it needs brushing and gentle washing. Gel absorbs impact well and is easy to clean. Memory foam moulds to the back and returns to its shape after use. Ronzon felt is dense and stable, and BR neoprene is light and washable.

Risers and spine-free designs

A half pad with a riser, such as the BR Soft Gel, compensates for a saddle that sits slightly low at the front or a back that has lost muscle, while you have the saddle checked again. The BR ECOSoft leaves a clear channel above the spine. The Ronzon wither pad only relieves the wither area.

Positioning

Place the half pad on the saddle pad, pulled well up into the gullet of the saddle, then put the saddle on top. It must not wrinkle or press on the withers. One more layer can make an already snug saddle tight: if the saddle tips or presses, have its fit checked by a professional.

Frequently asked questions about half pads

Can a half pad make up for a poorly fitting saddle?

Only a little, and only for a while. A riser can correct a saddle that sits slightly low, but if the saddle does not suit the horse's back, it needs to be adjusted or replaced.

How do I care for a sheepskin half pad?

Brush it after each use to remove hair and sweat. Wash it by hand or in the machine at a low temperature according to the label, with a wool detergent, and leave it to dry flat, away from any heat source.

Gel or memory foam?

Gel absorbs more impact, memory foam moulds better to the shape of the back. Both are easy to clean. The choice depends mainly on your saddle and how your horse feels.

Do I need a half pad with a new saddle?

Not necessarily. A well-fitting saddle does not need one; a thin half pad can still add comfort or protect the saddle.
