Comfort Plus Bareback Pads

Description

For riders who want the very best, the Comfort Plus Bareback Pad is the premium choice in the Best Friend bareback range. It brings together superior materials, a luxury feel, and genuine performance – whether you’re using it for pleasure riding, riding school lessons on a lunge line, or building a novice rider’s balance and confidence.

In New Zealand, where riding schools and equestrian coaches increasingly use bareback work to develop rider feel and position, the Comfort Plus is the pad instructors reach for. It’s durable enough for daily use with multiple students, comfortable enough that horses tolerate it well, and secure enough that beginners feel safe from the first session.

The top panel combines breathable synthetic suede with a short-nap fleece overlay – noticeably softer and more cushioned than standard bareback pads. The D-rings at the pommel serve double duty as a hand-hold and as attachment points for a breastplate. All straps have leather-reinforced billets for longevity. The contoured fit keeps the pad correctly positioned without constant readjustment.

Cleans up easily between uses – machine washable on gentle in cold water, air dry. Resistant to sweat and hard-wearing enough for a full NZ season of regular riding.

Held in stock in New Zealand – order with confidence and receive it fast, anywhere in the country.

TESTIMONIALS:

“I love using the bareback pads because it gives me freedom of riding bareback while still providing support and comfort for me and my horse – and they’re perfect for summer treks!!”
Lynette, Taupo.

“The suede is excellent for gripping the seat, and the pimply neoprene type backing on the pad and girth are truly non-slip and cushy. The pads cushions are contoured for the horses back and the rider, even the straps to the girth are backed with a soft suede for comfort.”
Tom I, UK.
