Disadvantages of the Christ Premium XH Fellsattel:
- Lambskin is, especially when new, smooth and can cause the bareback pad to slide faster on round horses or the rider to have less grip
- A sheep is slaughtered for the production of lambskin, so the product is not sheep-friendly
- The bareback pad has rings for attaching stirrups
- No V girth system
The Christ Premium bareback pad is ideal for:
- Regular use, 3 to 4 times a week
- With matching pad with inserts, 4 to 5 times a week
- Horses and ponies with high withers
- Riders who like to have a little more support
- Riders who want to sit very softly
The Christ Premium bareback pad is less suitable for:
- Riders who need grip on the bareback pad
- Horses and ponies with little to no withers (choose the normal Premium Plus model with low withers in this case)
Delivery and necessary accessories:
The bareback pad is delivered without a girth. For use, a dressage girth is required. A matching lambskin girth from Christ is available. Other dressage girths without lambskin that can stabilize the position are also widely used. For intensive use, the matching pad with inserts can be ordered separately. Inserts for the bareback pad are included and are already in the insert compartments.
Colors of the Christ lambskin:
- Natural-black
- Anthracite-black
- Brown-brown (Please note that the brown lambskin is more gray in color than warm brown.)

Stirrup leathers on the Christ bareback pad:

Material of the gel bareback pad:
Top: lambskin
Interior work: inserts made of composite foam
Bottom: lambskin
Girth straps: artificial leather reinforced with nylon
Maintenance of the lambskin bareback pad:
The bareback pad is machine washable on a cold cycle, using a lambskin detergent. Lambskin should dry slowly and should not be dried in direct sunlight. The seat and inserts are removable, allowing the bareback pad to be washed in parts and fit better in the washing machine.
