Disadvantages of the Weaver bareback pad:
- Upon use, the bareback pad lacks anatomical shape
- The bareback pad does not provide spinal freedom
- Comes with a standard-length girth, which may be too long for some ponies. In this case, any standard Western girth can be used with the bareback pad.
The anti-slip bareback pad is ideal for:
- Riders looking to protect their horses but hardly feel the bareback pad
- Riders who already have experience riding without a saddle, as the bareback pad has no knee pads to support the rider
- Riders looking to improve their independent seat and balance on the horse's back
- Horses and ponies with little to no withers
- With anatomical pads, it is also suitable for horses with medium withers
The bareback pad is less suitable for:
- Inexperienced, insecure riders
- Horses and ponies with high withers
Delivery and required accessories:
The bareback pad comes with a girth. If you plan to use the bareback pad intensively or on a horse with a decent withers, it is recommended to use an anatomical pad with inserts.

If the standard girth is too long, there are two solutions:
- The girth can be easily shortened by a local shoe or saddle maker.
- Order a separately available standard Western girth in a shorter length (or use one you already have).
Material of the Anti-Slip Bareback Pad:
It is a simple bareback pad with a Herculon top. Herculon is mold-resistant, quick-drying, and easy to clean. The 2 cm thick felt inner provides extra cushioning and comfort. The felt molds to the horse's back through use and provides a stable fit. The underside is made of non-slip Sympanova, ensuring the bareback pad stays in place on the horse's back. Additionally, this material does not absorb sweat. The bareback pad is equipped with nylon girth straps and comes with a girth (nylon with fleece wool). The overall look gives it a rugged appearance!
Maintenance of the Bareback Pad:
The top can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The non-slip underside made of Sympanova can be wiped with a sponge and warm water. This material does not absorb sweat. The bareback pad cannot be cleaned in the washing machine.
