    HOW TO USE
    Position Half-Pad on top of your standard English pad, centering front to back and left to right. Place saddle on top. Pull upward at the front of your standard pad to remove any pressure on the withers.

    We recommend using VersaFit™ Shims in your Half-Pad to create a custom-contoured ideal saddle fit. Even if your current saddle fits well, the addition of our specially shaped shoulder shim behind the furthest backswing point of the scapula will give your horse greater freedom of movement and improve comfort and performance.
    NOTE: The SmartFoam™ inserts are temperature sensitive. They will be firmer if it’s colder, and softer when warmer. During cooler weather, your horse’s body heat will warm the inserts, allowing them to soften and conform. Tighten your girth in stages, going up one hole at a time on each side. This will reduce potential lateral imbalance. When temperatures are low, allow the pad to sit on your horse for a few minutes, or move your horse on the ground a bit before mounting. Due to the unique compression qualities of the SmartFoam™, you may need to tighten your girth an extra time or two.


    The HALFPAD works great under ENGLISH saddles. Easy-access pockets to hold your SHIMS for successful MANAGEMENT OF THE INTERFACE.

    Best value in combination with Parelli Saddle’s SMARTFLX™ saddle trees. 100% breathable, orthopedic, anti-slip, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, easily to clean. Wash with a hose and drip dry.

    Available in black and white.

    Crafted in the USA.

    Our unique shimming concept provides a simple way to offer dynamic custom fit. The welcoming “hug” of our saddles’ undersides provides for an un-restricted equine athlete capable of enjoying full physical potential under saddle.

    The original HALFPAD™ inserts – housed inside the sculpted pockets of the pad – are designed to support the Horse´s back under the saddle tree bars, leaving the bottom section of the pad appropriately thin so you can have a good leg communication with your horse. This SMART FOAM is the most advanced impact reduction material in the world of MEMORY FOAMS which are manufactured with many different consistencies, impact deflection and compression capacities and are not as effective as SMART FOAM.

    The original SMART FOAM has a compression factor that allows it to conform/compress to less ¼ of its original thickness where needed to accommodate pressure points, yet it loses no more than 2% of its impact deflection properties.
