This Christ sheepskin pad is suitable for use under various treeless saddles, bareback pads, and the Christ Cloud bareback pad. The Christ Sheepskin Bareback Saddle Pad is anatomically shaped for an optimal fit. On both sides of the spine, the pad has insert compartments that can be filled with inserts if desired (matching inserts available separately). When inserts are used in the pad, spine freedom, pressure distribution, and shock absorption under the saddle or bareback pad are improved. Sheepskin also works antibacterially, improves pressure distribution, and prevents chafing.
XH or normal model pad:
The abbreviation XH means that a saddle pad or bareback pad from Christ is specially anatomically shaped for horses with high withers. XH variants are not immediately available from stock. These have a delivery time of approximately 4-6 weeks. However, the normal model is immediately available from Christ's stock.
- XH model is recommended for horses with high withers
- Normal model is recommended for horses with no to medium withers
Advantages of the Christ sheepskin pad:
+ The sheepskin underside contributes to pressure distribution under the saddle/bareback pad and prevents chafing
+ Improves pressure distribution and spine freedom under the saddle/bareback pad when the pad is used with inserts
+ No sheepskin under the sweat flaps for good leg contact
+ Very high-quality sheepskin, seamless, for the most sensitive skin types
Disadvantages of the Christ sheepskin pad for inserts:
- Sheepskin is, especially when new, slippery and can cause the saddle/bareback pad to slip more quickly on round horses
- For the production of sheepskin, a sheep is slaughtered, so the product is not sheep-friendly
The Treeless Sheepskin Saddle Pad is ideal for:
- Horses and/or ponies with very sensitive skin
- Use under the Christ Cloud bareback pad/Fellsattel
- Suitable for the FRA Dardo, USG Reitkissen, Barefoot Ride on Pads (and Physio version), BK Support Bareback Pad, Becidor Support Bareback Pad
- various treeless saddles such as Barefoot Cheyenne, Cherokee, Just ad Just, Torsion saddles, Startrekk Comfort models, EDIX Vika, and Courville
Less suitable for:
- Saddles with a long dressage sweat flap, as the side length is too short, see dimensions
- Saddles with a very short back length, where the back length of the pad is often proportionally too long
