Ergonomic half pad
The Ergonomic Pad is a half pad that soaks up shocks and reduces pressure points. It also provides good saddle stability and balance by spreading the weight of the rider and saddle for increased comfort when riding.

The calfskin wither-free Ergo Pad hugs the horse's body shape and avoids compression over the withers. The top part of made from topstitched natural wool making it extremely hard-wearing and tear-resistant while protecting the saddle leather from the horse's sweat. The 3D mesh sits directly on the horse's back and improves airflow next to the skin. It is also exceptionally light at just 580 grammes.
The half pad goes perfectly with our dressage and jumping saddle pads.
