The Winderen saddle half pad with Back Protect Solution technology was designed to make you feel relaxed in the saddle while protecting both your and your horse’s back. Five technologically advanced layers provide you with maximum comfort, stability and enhance your riding experience by connecting horse and rider in complete harmony. See how we combined cutting-edge technology with elegance and comfort.
Perfect Fit
The significant spot pressure reduction and the even load distribution on the horse's back make your saddle fit properly.
Muscle Support
The muscles along your horse's back can now loosen and tighten much more easily during your everyday training sessions.
Movement
Your horse moves freely and easily in each gait.
Dynamically Reduced Pressure
The pressure on your horse’s back when taking off and landing during jumping is significantly reduced.
Ergonomic Design
Your back muscles work more freely when riding and jumping.
Minimised tension
You will suffer from much less back and neck pain after training sessions or competitions.
Saddle Stability
Minimized instability effect.
We present a video of our laboratory tests on Winderen Back Protect Solution saddle half pads, demonstrating that their efficiency in terms of distribution and energy absorption is much greater than that of traditional solutions such as sheepskin pads or gel pads.
Back Protect Solution - Slim
The Winderen Saddle Half-Pad Slim (10 mm / 0.4” thick) was requested by riders with custom-made saddles and was designed for their special requirements.
Replaceable Upper Shell
By introducing a system of replaceable covers in different colours, you can use the same Winderen saddle half pad both for training sessions and competitions while being sure it always looks best.
Cut-open Withers
The Winderen Back Protect Solution saddle half pad has been designed to provide a maximum comfort, to allow free movement and to reduce the pressure on the spinous processes of the spine.
Easy to Maintain
The dirt resistance of the upper shell makes the pad easy to maintain. You can clean it with a moistened sponge or wash it (after removing the inside layers) at a temperature of 30˚C.
Sizes of Your Choice
Within our selection of sizes you can choose a matching pad that perfectly fits your saddle.
Correction saddle half pad
The “Correction” version of Winderen’s saddle half pad has a special cover that ensures the perfect fit regardless of the number of inserts used. No matter which configuration you choose its, panels remain stable and in an optimal position.
Correction saddle half pad is based on Winderen Back Protect Solution inserts in Comfort version (18 mm / 0.7” thick) or Slim (10 mm / 0.4” thick).
Inserts with 6 pockets
More precise fit to the horse's muscles. The shape of the panels was created in consultation with veterinarians and physiotherapists to perfectly adapt to the horse's back line.
The middle panel helps to correct the position and adherence of the saddle to the back of horses with hollowed back lines.
Correction cover
The Correction saddle half pad comes with a cover with an elastic band that perfectly fits the inserts.
No matter which configuration of the pads you choose, the panels are always in an optimal and stable position.
Correction felt inserts
The set includes panels in three thicknesses: 2 mm / 0.08”, 3 mm / 0.12” and 4 mm / 0.16”.
It allows you to adjust the pad up to 9 mm / 0.35” and makes it possible to regulate the desired correction in the range from 2 mm / 0.08” to 9 mm / 0.35” on both sides.
