Horse & Pony Half Pads
The half pad is a revolutionary product in terms of comfort for your horse.
Many half pads have shock absorbing properties that minimise concussion on your horse’s back, thereby reducing the risk of discomfort, injury, or long-term spinal issues.
Horses change shape throughout their lifetime as they age and their level of fitness fluctuates, so many professional saddlers recommend the use of a high-quality half pad to improve your horse’s comfort and prevent their saddle from slipping while you await your next appointment with a qualified saddler.
Here at Discount Equestrian, we stock the best products from market-leading equestrian brands for our incredible Half Pads range!
To give you an idea of the quality awaiting your discovery in our fabulous Half Pads collection, here are some of the bestselling products in this category:
Gel-Eze® Non-Slip Saddle Pad – “This shock-absorbing gel pad is non-slip and boasts superb impact absorption qualities to reduce the risk of back and wither injuries. It is lightweight and discreet, as well as being perforated to allow air flow for improved levels of comfort. This Non-Slip Saddle Pad by Gel-Eze is also non-toxic, washable, reusable, and environmentally friendly!”
Acavallo® Piuma Eco Wool Featherlight Pad – “The very latest innovation from Acavallo, these Piuma Air Release Pads are precision machined from featherlight thermoplastic. They offer an ingenious combination of incredibly low weight and high shock absorption with a sophisticated ventilation and air-supply system. Pressure is dissipated through the pad’s interlocking cell structure, creating a cushion effect every time the cells are compressed and released to enhance your horse’s comfort and performance.”
Elico® Dorchester Half Pad – “This ergonomically shaped half pad is made from micro leather and sticky gel pads on both the topside and underside, for added security. The low profile and contoured shape equal less interference with the fit of the saddle, therefore helping your horse perform at their best. Sold in a convenient zipper bag with handles, for ease of use.”
LeMieux® Pro Lambskin Half Pad – “This luxurious half pad is made with 100% natural Australian Merino lambskin, which is much denser and softer than the older sheep wool traditionally used in numnahs and saddle pads. The clear spine is swept up at the wither, relieving pressure on the spine and allowing air flow for greater comfort and temperature regulation. Pro Lambskin Half Pads can be used with any cut of saddle, and are suitable for use with or without a saddle cloth.”
WeatherBeeta® Memory Foam Comfort Half Pad – “The WeatherBeeta Memory Foam Comfort Half Pad is soft and breathable, and features an anti-slip pad providing extra protection for your horse’s withers and back. Superior shock absorption properties distribute pressure evenly, whilst helping to improve the fit of your horse’s saddle. This memory foam half pad is also anti-microbial, anti-fungal, and quick drying.”
