Description
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.
New Zealand’s varied terrain and outdoor lifestyle make this pad an ideal choice for the Kiwi horse owner. Ride through the Waitakere Ranges, along Northland beaches, or across Canterbury high country – the Western Bareback Pad handles it all while keeping you and your horse comfortable. The Velcro-flap pocket takes a phone or keys, the other holds a water bottle (included), so you can head out without a saddlebag.
The breathable synthetic suede top grips well in all conditions, and the non-slip Neoprene underside won’t absorb sweat or develop odour problems. High-density foam cushioning protects your horse’s back and keeps you comfortable on longer rides. The shaped wither area keeps the pad from sliding, while the hand-hold strap adds a point of security when you need it.
Great for all ages and abilities – kids appreciate the security of the hand grip, and more experienced riders value the close contact feel. Tacks up in minutes, cleans easily, and tough enough for regular NZ use.

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. We all agree it is an excellent pad for the price.”
Tom I, UK.
