Half Pads, Risers & Gel Pads

Half pads, gel pads and risers will all help to stabilise and temporarily improve the fit of your saddle, while increasing your horse’s comfort. Half pads and risers are useful to alleviate minor saddle fit issues on a temporary basis, such as if your horse changes shape through losing/gaining muscle. They also provide added cushioning beneath the saddle for your horse’s back.

These pads are versatile, coming in many different styles and made from various materials. Within our collection, you can find the perfect front riser pad for targeted lift at the pommel, or a luxurious sheepskin half pad for natural shock absorption and breathability. For horses requiring more precise adjustment, a shimmable saddle pad allows you to alter thickness in specific areas, building up beneath the saddle only where necessary.

Gel pads are used to give grip beneath the saddle, ideal for rounder pony types or for situations in which the saddle is prone to slipping. We stock industry-leading designs from Acavallo Gel Pads, renowned for their durable, breathable, and non-slip materials. If you are seeking advanced impact protection with a close-contact feel, explore our ThinLine collection, which offers medical-grade support for both horse and rider.

Whether you choose memory foam for pressure relief or a technical correction pad to improve saddle balance, our range ensures your horse remains comfortable and protected during every ride.
