The Baretek Pad is a saddle alternative for those days when you want to ride with closest contact, develop
your seat or simply go out on trail without all the equipment. Riders find that it has more support in the cantle
and thigh blocks that helps maintain proper riding position and that the suede material is very grippy and
secure. This stirrup-less "bareback-saddle" enhances horse/rider communication and encourages an
increase in the responsiveness to the aids. It is a wonderful solution to relieve horses from saddle soreness.
And it's flexibility enables it to fit all conformations. A saddlepad is recommended, and sheepskin, Thinline, EE
Backsaver pad, Smart Panel or other therapeutic pads can be used on horses with muscle wastage or high
withers.

I bought this pad to use on my aging mare. I have also used it on most of my other horses. I was a little concerned about wither clearance, since the shape of the pad is rather flat, but that hasn't proven to be a problem; especially when used with an appropriate saddle pad (I use a fleece pad under mine). Comfort level for the horse has always seemed to be exceptional! What surprised me the most about the pad, is how secure it is. I've gone trailriding in mine, and all over. Other people (including beginners) I've had ride with it, really comment on the surprising feeling of security, as well. It really lets you concentrate on your riding, rather then worrying about staying on the horse. (As can often be the case when riding bareback, or with other "bareback" pads.) Love it, and would highly recommend it.
