Body-Move-Pads for Better Pressure Distribution and More Comfort Under the Saddle
When the saddle basically fits but isn’t quite perfect yet, Body-Move-Pads can provide targeted support. They help distribute pressure, move with the horse, and improve your horse’s wellbeing.
Why a Body-Move-Pad Can Make Sense
Many problems are not caused by a saddle that is completely wrong for the horse, but by small imbalances:
- Pressure points or sensitive areas
- Tension in the back
- Uneven loading
- Changes in muscle development
The point-load finger sinks into the pad.
The flat-pressing hand does not sink into the pad.
What Makes a Body-Move-Pad Special?
Unlike conventional saddle pads, Body-Move-Pads are designed to move with the horse.
That means:
That means:
- better pressure distribution
- more freedom of movement
- shock absorption under load
- flexible adaptation to different situations
Who Is a Body-Move-Pad Suitable For?

- sensitive or delicate horse backs
- young horses still developing
- riders who switch between saddles
