The bareback pad is ideal for:
- riders who do not want the influence of knee rolls
- horses with low to medium withers

- vaulting exercises without a vaulting girth
Less suitable for:
- horses or ponies with high withers
- horses or ponies with prominent spine
- horses or ponies with a very short back
Spine freedom and pressure distribution
The bareback pad is filled with high-density foam. This makes this bareback pad suitable for approximately 1-2 times per week use. The bareback pad does not have inserts that provide spine freedom. If you do want spine freedom under this bareback pad, you must order a pad with inserts separately. However, in the largest sizes, there are no suitable pads with inserts available for this bareback pad.
No stirrup straps on the bareback pad:
To prevent pressure points on the vertebrae, stirrups cannot be attached to the FRA Markus bareback pad. In addition, the rider gets a false sense of security and is less well encouraged to train an independent seat with stirrups.
