Horse Supplies & Tack Supplies

I bought this pad over a year ago and have been extremely pleased with the quality, durability and the way it looks! It fits my mare great and she loves it! I even have my barn buddies borrowing it to ride their horses in it!! Couldn't be happier!

I LOVE this pad! It is very comfertable! I took this pad out on a 10 mile, yep 10 miles!! It did not move one inch! We did every thing, hills, trotting, and even a good gallop. I stayed in my seat as well. No slipping or sliding! Its my mission to get any one who likes to ride bareback to buy this pad. If you are shopping around. STOP!!! This is every thing you could ask for in a bare back pad. You will never look back.

I finally ordered the black pad after months of waiting for it to become available. The fleece top is cushy and the suede-type material helps anchor my leg when I ride. I have ridden up and down hills and the pad hardly slips. Overall this is a great item for a great price. I highly recommend this bareback pad. :)

I was on a mission to find a bareback pad that I could use on my young APHA mare. I am in the process of putting weight on her, as she's rather narrow in the back and has fairly high withers. Giving the chance during winter, I try to ride without a saddle as much as I can to better shamelessly pirate my horse's body heat. I was looking for something to give me a little more stability and give her a more balanced rider. I met the UPS man at my door and then blew out of the house to get to the farm. I was completely astounded by this thing in use. It was unbelievably comfortable for me, and I stayed put! I had her going through various gaits and I felt like I was glued into place. I was also just as warm as I would have been entirely bareback. Over all, I give this thing five stars across the board and I cannot wait to really break this thing in.

I was on a mission to find this exact bareback pad after using my instructor's and falling in love with it. This site offered by far the best price, though it was on backorder and took almost a month to arrive (they were communicative about the delay though). I've used several different types of bareback pads from $300 Parelli contraptions (NOT worth it) to homemade things consisting of old saddle pads with cinches sewn to them. This one is EASILY the best designed and it comes with a reasonable price tag. It molds to my rather round, stocky QH like it's custom-made and has also fit thinner/higher-withered/bigger horses as well. The shape is really contoured to both the horse's back and your seat/leg, and does not gap, bulge, rub or slide anywhere. The underside (of both the pad and girth strap) is a soft, porous, rubbery, mesh-like surface that stays where it's put and won't get stained with sweat. The topside is soooo plush. The reinforced, velvety area provides just the right amount of cush between you and your horse without losing that close contact you want when riding (almost) bareback. And it provides just enough grip/friction to gives you a little security. The two D-rings in front are spaced just right to attach a hand strap if you wanted one. The Navy shade is not the silvery periwinkle it appears to be in photos, but a darker, rich ultramarine. Very attractive, but not too frilly. Dust and hair brush right off with a swipe of the hand, but I imagine you could hose it down and air dry it pretty well if it took a serious spill in the mud. While I've only had my pad for a little while, my trainer's had her black one for a few years and it's used daily by several different people and horses (and then slept on by cats in the tack room) and I don't see any wear on it at all. So I believe this will be very durable.

I rode a friends bare back pad. It was pretty and like most I've ridden on before and when I asked the price I just about dropped! So I was on a mission to find something decently priced. Then I found this. I LOVE this! The price was an eye catcher and then I got it home. The seat is comfy, the under side is non slip and can be hosed down and I can put my saddle bags on it! The only down side... If you have a small horse this may be too big. I have a quarter horse and I only had three holes left to tighten. Just the other day I put it on a percheron and I was on 3rd hole on one side and 6th on the other and could have gone higher so, I'm pretty sure I may have to use something else on my arab. If this will fit your horse you wont regret buying it! I know would have happily paid more!

I have a very high withered and bony backed TWH and this pad makes it very nice to ride him bareback! Fits him great and he seems to like it just fine! Great pad for this price!!! Im going to get one for my sister!

Very comfortable to ride on. Doesn't slip on the horse and feels very secure. We have been using it regularly for over 6 months and it has been very durable. I am an advanced beginner and prefer riding with this pad verses a saddle for comfort!

I seemed to stay on pretty good being a beginner, my horse seems to be ok with it too, gotten alot of compliments but they ran out of black so had to take the navy.

I bought this pad for my birthday in July, and I've loved it! I've used it on my sister's pony, my QH mare, my Arabian Gelding, and my friend has used hers on her TB mare. I absolutely love it:) The only thing that could be improved is the cinch straps. After a while, they often give rope burn. But other than that, it provides a comfortable, smooth ride for both the rider and the horse!
