Forget the saddle - go bareback with a difference

We’re often told to ride without stirrups to improve our balance and suppleness in the saddle, but have you ever considered going bareback?

Riding without a saddle can help develop your seat, encourage you to lengthen your leg as well as develop core strength and stability. You will form a better sense of balance and improve the connection with the horse underneath you. It is a training method which is known to help improve your independent seat, which in turn will allow you to remain in perfect balance over the horse’s centre of gravity.

These are the foundations of good riding, whatever the discipline…BUT bareback riding can be uncomfortable. This is where the Equitex Riding Pad comes in. The perfect solution to going bareback, with a difference! With this unique riding pad you can feel the horse’s movements, improve your own seat and develop your balance for an unforgettable riding experience.

This ingenious Riding Pad is created in two parts which can be disconnected for washing. The top section is filled with memory foam for ultimate posterior comfort, while the underside of the seat is formed with Equitex Tech foam to safeguard and support the horse for non-saddle riding. The unique structure of the pad ensures that the horse has no spinal pressure.

The Riding Pad outer is styled in a luxury, high performance Italian wool with leather fixings to attach your girth. It is extremely easy to care for the Riding Pad, which can be washed in the washing machine at 30 °C without loosing shape. Colours: Black or Brown RRP £349.00. Visit www.equitex.co
