A half pad<\/strong>\u00a0is an additional layer between the\u00a0horse\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0back and the\u00a0saddle<\/strong>. As its name suggests, the main purpose of a saddle pad is to\u00a0absorb<\/strong>\u00a0impacts and protect the\u00a0horse\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0back. A half pad can provide a real sense of relief to more sensitive horses. It spreads the\u00a0rider\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0weight and frees up\u00a0sensitive<\/strong>\u00a0areas by slightly raising the\u00a0saddle<\/strong>\u00a0from the withers and first dorsal vertebrae, in particular. This is a solution to numerous\u00a0back<\/strong>\u00a0complaints, as well as an option for horses with very specific\u00a0morphology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why put a half pad on your horse?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A half pad<\/strong> also has a corrective<\/strong> role. A horse\u2019s<\/strong> back is constantly changing in relation to its muscle shape and diet. Even on custom-made<\/strong> saddles<\/strong>, the half pad<\/strong> plays a key role when the horse<\/strong> experiences a change in performance. It also helps adjust the saddle\u2019s<\/strong> pressure points and balance. As such, the saddle can be adapted to fit several horses with different morphological traits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antar\u00e8s half pads<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Antar\u00e8s has worked with vets and osteopaths to design two half pads<\/strong> to supplement its expertise in custom-made saddles and add greater comfort<\/strong> and precision<\/strong> to its products. The choice of materials<\/strong> is always a tricky matter to find the right balance<\/strong>. Antar\u00e8s half pads<\/strong> are a technological amalgam that combines lightness<\/strong> and shock absorption. The carefully chosen blend of natural wool, leather and a 3D mesh is like having a chameleon on the horse\u2019s<\/strong> back. The French leather used to make Antar\u00e8s half pads<\/strong> comes from offcuts from our custom-made saddles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural wood<\/h4>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The upper part of Antar\u00e8s half pads<\/strong> is made from topstitched natural wool<\/strong>. This provides excellent resistance<\/strong> to wear prevents tearing and protects the saddle leather from the horse\u2019s<\/strong> sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3D mesh<\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The 3D mesh absorbs impacts, distributes pressure<\/strong> and improves ventilation<\/strong> for the horse\u2019s<\/strong> back. The half pad\u2019s<\/strong> memory foam ensures a perfect fit between horse<\/strong> and saddle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specially shaped cut-open leather<\/strong> wither protectors also leave them space while the leather spine channel on the half pad\u2019s<\/strong> inner side also provides excellent flexibility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
