A Baroque or Dressage Saddle with a Wide Bearing Surface: The Iberosattel® Comfort Pad Makes It Possible
Horses with a sensitive back need a saddle with a wide bearing surface to stay pain-free while riding.
But naturally, the benefits of such a saddle also help more robust horses: even animals that have grown used to pressure pain and discomfort move noticeably more relaxed under a wider bearing saddle, associate it with a more positive feeling and have more motivation.
Built up in several soft layers, the Comfort Pad absorbs pressure loads far better than normal dressage pads.

50% less pressure thanks to a large bearing surface.
The up to 2 times larger bearing surface reduces the effective pressure per area on the horse's back by up to 50%.
Pressure distribution with the Iberosattel® Comfort Pad compared to a conventional bearing surface.
A saddle with a wide bearing surface doesn't just distribute the rider's weight over a larger area, it also improves the contact between horse and rider.
Because the saddle doesn't partially hover in the air, your weight aids work more precisely. Thick padding cushions meant to compensate for such saddle-fit flaws become unnecessary.
In the leg area of the Comfort Pad, we have also reduced the padding a little further. This brings you closer to the horse in a dressage saddle with a wide bearing surface and gives fine leg aids more emphasis.
Here are the advantages of the patent-protected Comfort Pad at a glance:
Now starting from 2.990 €: the Classic Line with the Comfort Compact Pad -> Amazona Royal - Classic Plus, Sevilla - Classic Plus and Ibero Amazona - Classic Plus.

After extensive test riding, I decided on the Amazona Dressage Comfort in black with red piping and stitching, and was able to take delivery in June 2012. To this day I am delighted and keep recommending it.
My Friesian no longer has any back problems, because the wide Comfort Pad is wonderfully gentle on the back. The saddle is in use 3 to 4 times a week and to this day still delivers what it promises. I can recommend Iberosattel® saddles 100%.

When it became clear that a new saddle was needed and my saddler had just added Iberosattel® saddles to her range, I really wanted to try one out. I had already fallen for the design and the great wide bearing surface for horses beforehand, so it was clear it had to be an Iberosattel®. When I first saw it and sat in it, I was delighted. The quality is also excellent, and there's a lot of freedom in the design. There's something for everyone. I prefer a simpler look, so I chose the Montana embossing, which really looks great.

In 2012 my Spanish Sport Horse mare came to me, and the tiresome topic of saddles became relevant again. As it turned out, it wasn't easy to find something that fit her back well and also suited me. It quickly became clear it had to be short and had to fit a well-muscled horse's back.
A dressage saddle in any case, and ideally with a large, comfortable bearing surface. For me, ideally very short, small knee blocks with a comfortable seat. During my internet research I quickly became aware of Iberosattel®. Years of experience with Spanish horses, the design and the well thought-out construction of the saddles convinced me, and in 2013 I was able to get personal advice at the Equitana and test-sit my absolute favourite.
The Dressage Andaluz not only appealed to me visually, the equipment also convinced me. The decision was made, it had to be an Ibero. So in the summer I became the proud owner of an Iberosattel® Dressage Andaluz, which also convinced me over all other models during the test ride.
