The FRA Dardo bareback pad and/or saddle pad is a popular and widely used bareback pad.
- size horse-cob
- color black or brown
- anti-slip material
- with handle
- excluding girth
The bareback pad top is made of suedine (artificial suede) with wear-resistant synthetic nappa leather under the leg position. It is filled with high-density foam, extra thick around the withers. The entire pad is quilted with polypropylene. The underside features a perforated anti-slip neoprene layer, sympanova. This material is low maintenance, shock-absorbing, hygienic, and temperature-regulating. The bareback pad is anatomically shaped and equipped with a removable handle. It incorporates a "spread-over pull system," more simply described as a V-girth system, which distributes the girth pressure evenly over the entire pad and ensures a nice fit.
