Enhance your horse’s comfort and performance with the Kentucky Sheepskin Half Pad Absorb, designed to deliver refined cushioning, stability and everyday practicality in one elegant solution.
Crafted with Kentucky’s signature high-quality artificial sheepskin, this half pad offers the softness and shock absorption of natural sheepskin, while remaining easy to care for and durable enough for regular use. The result is a beautifully balanced layer that supports the horse’s back without compromising saddle feel.
Engineered to reduce pressure and improve saddle stability, the pad distributes weight evenly across the contact area, helping to prevent soreness and maintain comfort during both training and competition. The slim 10mm profile ensures close contact, allowing the rider to stay connected without altering saddle fit.
Thoughtful details enhance its performance. Additional attachment straps secure the pad neatly in place beneath the saddle, helping to prevent movement, even during more demanding rides. The spine-free design encourages airflow along the back, supporting breathability and overall comfort.
With its clean, understated finish, the Sheepskin Half Pad Absorb is a versatile choice across both dressage and jumping disciplines.
