Intrepid International Comfort Plus Bareback Pad, Black, 21-3/4 in x 22"

I ride in this pad ALL the time! Both of the horses I typically use it on are super shark-finned, and this pad makes it SO much more comfortable! I’ve gone out on 25 minute hacks on them, and I’m only a tiny tiny bit chaffed! I will forever recommend this pad. This thing DOES NOT slip or slide at all (and I don’t even have to make it super tight), the suede/fur seat really locks you in, especially in some good breeches. Makes flat backed horses feel like a couch. Definitely invest in this, and not some cheap one!

I bought this bareback pad to start myself and my boy back into work after a long time off post colic surgery. I wanted to get back to basics and start working on closer contact riding that would give us both strength, balance and confidence. I find this pad to be more comfortable than most saddles. My kid used to greatly detest bareback, so I used a fair amount of dilligence in finding the right pad. This one allows for thr close contact I need whwhiwhwhilwhwhiwhwhile feeling secure and absorbing shock from my seat sp that his re-developing back does not get sore. The soft neoprene girth is perfect, as he has always been cinchy and is EVEN MORE SO with the post surgery scar. I adore this pad and csnnot reccomend it enough. I use it with a standard all purpose riding pad from Back On Track and find it to be a truly winning combo!

I bought this for my Rocky Mountain Horse so I can ride him bareback and work on my balance. It's so comfortable. My friend (in the pic) who's in her 60's was so comfortable riding in it that she wanted to canter! Because my horse is gaited and his back is slightly low it did scoot back a little. He has a lot of shoulder movement too. So I'm going to buy an English style breast collar for it so it won't slip back. It's very well made and it has D rings to attach a breast collar and saddle bag if you want to go on the trail with it. I eventually will use it on the trail when my balance is better. Very usable and conforms to my horses back unlike the $70 weaver bareback pad that was too thick and stiff and slippery. If you're looking for a good bareback pad spend your money on this one.

I love that I can throw this on and go with my horse, it doesn't slip very easily which is a great function since I have been working on jumping on my 16 hand horse from the ground and there is a lot of wriggling involved. The girth has an extension underneath it to keep it from pinching and two small strips of Velcro to hold the top portion to the underneath. It is great in theory but does not hold as nicely as one would want, and so sometimes the buckle can be close to the skin, but it still works alright. I've ridden in it four times so far and really like it. I feel like this is going to be a regular thing.

Absolutely love this pad! Stays put & doesn’t slip at all, very comfy & easy to clean. This is all my daughter has been riding in since we got it lol very similar to the Thin Line bareback pad & half the price!

I love this pad! Bareback riding is wonderful but it can be pain in the tush some days. This pad is a perfect combination of cushion and stick. Padded enough that I wasn't feeling a spine on my rear but thin enough that I could feel every muscle. The suede like texture of the sides lends lots grip for you thighs. Very adjustable, fits our squishy Friesian stallion just fine with plenty of holes to spare for our Morgans, Hanoverians and Friesian Sporthorse crosses. Didn't feel any slipping or sliding to the sides in the turns. I definitely feel safer and more secure than purely bareback. The horses seem to enjoy time off from the saddle as well as not having their rider's bony behind digging into their backs. Easy to clean too, just wiped the underside down with a wet rag.

The product fit and functioned as expected. I was surprised and happy to see an addition to the buckle area - what I imagine was a response to a previous review. I have only ridden in the bareback pad a couple times but I was happy with it. More comfortable and secure than riding completely bareback, but I only use it for when doing very light work as a way to change up routine. No experience yet how it would function after a long and/or sweaty ride, but I am really happy with the purchase and think it was a good value.

Really comfortable ❤❤ worth the price $$

I finally got a chance to try this bareback pad. It was comfortable and easy to use. I really like it has the girth buckle guard to protect the horse's sides. It stayed in place and was just padded enough. Thanks for a great product!

I bought this because everyone raved about how well it fits high withered horses. No, it doesn't. I am now trying to sell it. It is well made and good quality, and fits better than most flat back pads, but it still does not accomodate high withers.

received the wrong receipt or was charge double for the saddle.. sku matches the lower charge and the higher charge. so not sure what the real price of this product is.

This saddle is OK for beginning riders - my Granddaughters used it for quite a while, when they were learning.
