Engineered for the modern equestrian, this essential piece of horse equipment is designed to significantly enhance saddle fit and comfort, ensuring your horse can perform at its best, free from discomfort and distraction. It serves as a crucial link between the saddle and the horse, offering a layer of advanced protection that is vital for daily training, intense competition, and leisurely rides alike.

This high-performance half pad is built on a foundation of intelligent design, focusing on the most critical areas of your horse´s well-being.

The core benefit of the WALDHAUSEN Basic Half Pad lies in its exceptional ability to dissipate pressure and absorb shock. Every stride, jump, and transition generates impact that travels through the saddle to the horse´s back. This pad acts as a superior cushioning barrier, effectively absorbing and distributing these forces evenly across the back. By safeguarding the sensitive back muscles and spine from concussion, it helps reduce muscle fatigue and soreness, promoting a healthier, more willing partner.

Its anatomically considerate shape is meticulously crafted to follow the natural contours of the horse´s back. This thoughtful design ensures that pressure is never concentrated in one area, effectively preventing the development of painful pressure points, rubbing, and sores, especially around the withers and along the spine. The result is a more comfortable and harmonious fit, allowing for greater freedom of movement and a more relaxed topline.

Furthermore, performance is not just about protection but also about comfort during exertion. The pad is perforated with a pattern of ventilation holes that create an advanced airflow system. This feature is critical for maintaining a cooler and drier back, even during strenuous work or in warm weather. By allowing heat and moisture to escape, it helps regulate temperature, prevents excessive sweat buildup, and keeps your horse comfortable from the start of your ride to the finish.

The non-slip properties of the pad ensure that your saddle remains securely in place, providing stability and confidence for the rider. This eliminates unwanted shifting or sliding, allowing you to maintain a correct and balanced position without constant readjustment. Versatile in its application, this half pad can be placed directly on the horse´s back for maximum effect or positioned between your saddle and a traditional saddle pad. Easy to clean and durable for everyday use, the WALDHAUSEN Basic Half Pad is an indispensable investment in your horse´s long-term health, comfort, and performance
