Barefoot® Bareback Pad 'Ride-on-Pad' Physio Nature

The Barefoot® Bareback Pad 'Ride-On-Pad' Physio Nature is crafted from natural sheep wool and microfibre, and offers exceptional comfort and support for both rider and horse. The large knee rolls provide added stability for the rider’s legs, while the high, soft cantle gently supports the rider’s back. The saddle flaps are made from durable microfibre, and the underside features Sympanova material to prevent slipping on the horse’s back.

For added comfort and protection, the underside includes additional padding, along with two sets of interchangeable shims (1 pair of cellular rubber shims and 1 set of soft PU foam). These shims ensure spinal clearance and provide extra cushioning for the horse’s back. The shims can be adjusted or cut to correct saddle positions.

Unlike traditional bareback pads, which can create pressure points on the horse's back, the Barefoot® Ride-On-Pad Physio Nature features a horse-friendly rigging system. The concealed girth straps are mounted centrally, distributing pressure evenly across the horse’s back, reducing strain on the spinous processes.

With no stirrup attachments to avoid unnecessary pressure on the horse’s muscles, this pad allows the rider to feel securely close to the horse. The non-slip underside ensures the pad stays firmly in place.

Features:

• D-rings to secure bags

• Horse-friendly rigging
• Non-slip, padded underside

Animal-Friendly Wool:
The Barefoot® Ride-On-Pad Physio Nature is made from pure sheep wool, which offers antibacterial and pressure-absorbing properties similar to sheepskin. However, unlike sheepskin, which requires the animal to be slaughtered, sheep wool is shorn from live sheep in a painless process. The wool is then applied to a textile substrate, making it a more sustainable, animal-friendly option.

Note: The Barefoot® Ride-On-Pad Physio Nature is not recommended for smaller ponies due to its long saddle skirts and rigging. We suggest using the Barefoot® Ride-On-Pad in pony size for smaller ponies, like Shetlands.

Cleaning Instructions:
To clean, simply brush off loose dirt and hair. Hand wash in cold water, reshape the pad, and allow it to air dry. Do not dry over a radiator.
