EDIX Uni Half Pad Cotton
A half pad is a pad with inserts for treeless saddles that can be used in combination with a “normal” saddle pad. This allows you to continue using your previously collected saddle pad collection after purchasing a treeless saddle.
- Anatomically shaped
- Cotton underside
- Split at the withers
- Insert pockets on the underside
- Shim correction pockets on the top side
- Includes felt inserts
Fit of the saddle pad:
The Uni Treeless Half Pad is anatomically shaped for an optimal fit. The model is very generously cut at the withers, making the pad suitable for horses with high withers. Additionally, there is a split at the withers. The underside of the half pad is made of cotton. There are two pockets on the underside for the inserts alongside the spine. On the top side, there are 6 shim pockets for small corrections to the saddle position. The pad comes with felt inserts and shims.
Advantages of the EDIX Uni Half Pad:
+ You can use normal saddle pads under your treeless saddle
+ The spinal canal in the cotton underside provides more spine clearance and is seamless to prevent irritation
+ With shimming options for adjusting the saddle position
Disadvantages of the half pad:
- By using a half pad, you add an extra layer to your saddle setup. The individual parts can move against each other more easily, and the thicker stack reduces the close contact feel.
Half pads from EDIX are ideal for:
- Riders with a large collection of “normal” saddle pads
- Horses with high withers
The UNI half pad with inserts is less suitable for:
- Horses where the saddle tends to slip
- For horses without withers, this half pad offers too much space around the withers
Tips for using the EDIX half pad under a treeless saddle:
For optimal pressure distribution and spine clearance, first place the half pad on your horse's back, then the “normal” saddle pad, and finally the saddle. If you place the half pad and the “normal” saddle pad the other way around, the spine clearance is greatly reduced because a normal saddle pad is more likely to lie tightly on the spine/withers.
