Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bareback saddle pad and how is it different from a regular saddle pad?
A bareback saddle pad is designed specifically for riding without a traditional saddle, providing close contact between rider and horse while offering cushioning, grip, and stability. This Hilason bareback pad uses pressed wool felt with suede leather to absorb shock, reduce soreness, and allow natural horse movement while keeping the horse cooler than a full saddle.
Is this bareback pad suitable for treeless saddle riding?
Yes. This Hilason bareback pad is ideal for treeless saddle riding. The pressed wool felt and suede leather construction delivers the shock absorption and pressure relief treeless riders need, while the English billet straps and adjustable stirrups work with treeless saddle systems for a secure, balanced fit.
How do I measure my horse for the correct bareback pad size?
Measure your horse's back from the highest point of the withers to approximately 4 inches past where you normally place your saddle's cantle. This pad measures 27 inches long x 22 inches wide. For most horses, measure at least 3 to 4 inches forward of your riding position to ensure full wither and shoulder coverage.
How do I clean and care for the suede leather?
Simply wipe the pad with a damp cloth or brush with soft strokes to remove dust and sweat. Avoid direct water immersion or prolonged soaking; if it gets wet from rain or cleaning, ensure it dries completely before storing. No special products are needed - regular damp cloth maintenance keeps the suede supple and the wool felt clean.
Is this pad handmade?
Yes. This Hilason bareback saddle pad is handcrafted one piece at a time. The pressed wool felt base is topped with soft suede leather, English billet straps, adjustable stirrups, and a reinforced leather front handle - all constructed by hand to ensure quality and attention to detail.
Can this bareback pad reduce soreness on my horse's back?
Yes. The combination of pressed wool felt and breathable suede leather absorbs shock and distributes pressure evenly across your horse's back, reducing sore spots and soreness associated with riding. The pad conforms to your horse's back from the first ride and prevents heat accumulation and excessive sweating that can cause discomfort.
