Description

Best Friend Western Bareback Pad — Built for NZ Trail Riding

The Best Friend Western Bareback Pad is built for riders who want to go further — longer hacks, trail rides through the New Zealand countryside, or a relaxed summer ride along the coast. With two built-in side pockets and an included water bottle, it’s the most practical bareback pad in the range.

Whether you’re riding through the Waitakere Ranges, along Northland beaches, or across Canterbury high country, this pad handles it all while keeping you and your horse comfortable. The Velcro-flap pocket fits a phone or keys; the second holds the included water bottle — so you can head out without a saddlebag.

Breathable synthetic suede grips well in all conditions, and the non-slip Neoprene underside won’t absorb sweat or develop odour. High-density foam cushioning protects your horse’s back on longer rides, and the shaped wither area keeps the pad from sliding. Great for all ages — kids appreciate the hand-hold strap, experienced riders value the close contact feel.

Features:

• Breathable synthetic suede top for a secure, grippy seat
• Non-slip Neoprene underside — sweat resistant and easy to clean
• Two side pockets: Velcro-flap (phone/keys) + water bottle holder (bottle included)
• High-density foam padding with extra cushioning at the wither
• Shaped wither area keeps pad securely in place
• Padded Neoprene girth with stainless steel roller buckles
• Hand-hold strap at wither for added security.

To clean: Brush off, wipe with a damp cloth, or machine wash gentle/cold and air dry.
