Saddle pads are an important piece of equipment that sits between the horse’s back and the saddle. They protect the horse from the rider’s weight, helping to distribute pressure evenly and absorb sweat and body oil.
Can you ride without a saddle pad?
Technically, yes. However, it is not usually advised. Horses are strong but can be injured if not taken care of correctly. Riding without a saddle pad can damage a horse’s spine, as the rider’s weight is not as evenly distributed as it would be with a saddle pad. A saddle pad also reduces the friction between the horse’s skin and the saddle, protecting their skin and muscles and preventing soreness.
